Building Blocks: Block #2

In a recent post, I mentioned that I am currently working on a project called "Building Blocks" and, starting in January, I will be teaching a class using this pattern. We will focus on one block a month for a year. 

Today, I am showing off Block #2.

The designer of this pattern is Michelle Hunter and she really arranged this project and her book in a fantastic manner.  Each block focuses on a new skill, so it makes sense to start with Block #1 and proceed through the blocks in order. 

When I teach the class on Block #2, I plan to work on the following skills:

• how to read a chart
• how to block your work
• how to read your knitting
