Colorwork Knitting - April 26, 2025
April 26, 2025
1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Join Kate and Laila and learn how to use two colors of yarn to follow a chart. You will make a "speed swatch" and gain the skills to start a stranded colorwork project of your own. The swatch can also be saved and used as a mug rug! This tradition pulls from our personal Nordic heritage and students will take away tips and tricks we have learned about stranded knitting over the years.
Prior to class - students should be comfortable knitting, purling, and casting on. In class we will knit with two colors following a colorwork chart.
Students will be asked to provide their own materials: Charts will be provided, please plan on bringing your own yarn and needles to work with: Size US 5-7 knitting needles, preferably 16” circular, or double pointed needles will also work, and 2 contrasting colors of worsted weight yarn (medium).
This course is for adults 18+.
Check out our Beginning Knitting course in the morning!
If you’re attending both Beginning Knitting and Colorwork Knitting, lunch will be provided.
