Colorwork Primer
Tamara Benton
Saturday - September 23, 30 & October 7
1:00pm – 3:00pm
All Levels
$50.00
Colorwork refers to knitting with multiple colors. Though the term can encompass several stitch patterns, such as simple stripes, Fair Isle, slip stitch, marling and intarsia, all use multiple colors. That’s good news for stash-busting knitters. This class will concentrate on changing colors, stranding, maintaining tension, dealing with multiple yarn tails and yarn management. Beginners may wish to work with 2 or 3 colors while advanced knitters may be ready for more numerous challenges. Pattern suggestions will be discussed at the first class for scarves, cowls or hats.

Although several versions of this sweater can be obtained through Ravelry, Schoolhouse Press or within Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Knitting Workshop, a summarized version will be available for each knitter at the first class. If you are an EZ fan, this class is for you and if you have not yet met Elizabeth, working her sweater will be a great introduction.
