Intro to Colorwork Series
$45.00Description
Color work can be intimidating and knowing where to start can be flat out overwhelming. What's intarsia? Is fair isle different than stranded color work? How the heck does double knitting work? Dip your toe in the water of working with more than one yarn with this three part pick-and-choose color work series taught by Kelley!
You can take one, two or all of this series. Each two hour class will work on a different color work project and different color work technique.
January 29th from 6-8pm: Overview of Intarsia - we'll be making a coaster with a script Ohio design!
February 12th from 6-8pm: Overview of Stranded Color Work in the round - we'll be making a cup sleeve for your coffee cup!
February 26th from 6-8pm: Overview of Double Knitting - we'll be making a knitted double knit swatch that can be used as a coaster.
We will not likely to be able to finish projects within class, but there will be solid progress made!
