Technicolor Dreams: Intro to Stranded Colorwork – June

Your takeaways from this two-week class will include a solid understanding of the fundamentals of stranded colorwork knitting, chart reading skills you can apply to any colorwork project, practical strategies for tracking your place in a pattern repeat, and hands-on experience managing multiple yarns — all of which will set you up for technicolor success!

Together we'll work through instructor Dedra Clark's own design, The Brave Little Cowl, a clever pattern that sets the stage for a "Choose Your Own Adventure" approach to learning. Take this class, knit the cowl and wear it pride, as it. Or, continue your colorwork journey with our follow-up Steeking class, in which your finished cowl becomes the canvas for learning to cut open your work and transform it magically. Steek once and add a button band and–voilà–your cowl becomes a stylish buttoned neck warmer. Or cut it four times for extra steeking practice, add a border around each square, and you'll have a set of adorable coasters upon which to place your well-deserved drink.

Materials: Two high contrast skeins of sticky worsted-weight yarn. We recommend Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino. 24" US 7 circular knitting needle, and stitch markers.

Prerequisites: Students should have a solid understanding of knit and purl stitches and be comfortable knitting in the round.
