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).
