Learn Irish Aran Islands Cabled Knitting with textile historian and knitwear designer Dr. Jennifer Daley or improve your existing cabling technique. 

All knitters and skill levels are welcome in this class!

Discover the rich knitting traditions of Ireland’s Aran Islands while learning the timeless art of cable knitting.

In this hands-on class, you’ll explore the history and symbolism behind classic Aran motifs, including braided cables, diamonds, honeycombs, and textured stitch patterns that have been passed down through generations.

Students will learn how to read cable charts, work cable crossings with confidence, and create beautifully textured fabrics inspired by traditional Irish knitwear.

Whether you are new to cables or looking to expand your knitting skills, this class will guide you through the techniques needed to knit authentic Aran-style projects with ease.

Join us as we celebrate the craftsmanship, heritage, and enduring beauty of Irish Aran knitting while creating heirloom-quality pieces you'll treasure for years to come!

Beware, there is homework! Prior to class, the “homework” in preparation is to follow your Knitting Jenny pattern and cast on and begin knitting ---- and knit your project until the cabling begins.

When we meet in person in class, we will all begin knitting our Irish cables together.

While completion of homework is not required, it is highly encouraged! That way, during class we can focus on cabling techniques, rather than spending time casting on or ribbing.

Bring to class your Knitting Jenny pattern, yarn, and needles, and we will knit our way through the class!
