Learn how to work with multiple colours in your knitting, in multiple ways. This class will cover Fair Isle, Intarsia, and slip-stitches (mosaic).

We’ll start with stripes, then progress to Fair Isle, showing you how read the patterns and charts, and to handle two yarns, whether you work English or Continental, one-handed or two.  I’ll demonstrate how (and why) to handle long floats, and how to make sure your fabric is tidy and even. We’ll also tackle Intarsia and slipped stitch colourwork, demonstrating the key differences in techniques required for these other colourwork methods. Along the way, we’ll cover chart reading, how to manage your yarns, and the importance of blocking – and how to do it.

Skill level: advanced beginner - knitters need to be proficient with knit, purl

Bring with you: two contrasting colours of scrap medium-weight yarn and 4-5mm/US #6-8 needles
