Learn various techn iques to broaden your knitting skills and achieve endless possibilities fo r creating vibrant designs. .\nhttps://ocls.libnet.info/event/11149028 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

This is a 3-class series (2 weeks per clas s) running \;Tuesdays\, August 6 through September 10 \;from 10:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

\n
If you want more than one col or in your project\, that&rsquo\;s Colorwork. It&rsquo\;s importa nt to note that not all colorwork techniques are suitable for every projec t. We'll explore 3 techniques\, look at the advantages and how each is bes t suited for specific projects. \; Learn how to incorporate leftover s craps of yarn for Intarsia (creating blocks of color)\, o r use that not quite full skein for Mosaic (slip stitch l ines of color) or Stranded (simple to complex patterns of color - also known as Fair Isle knitting).
\n

Session 1: We'll focus on Intarsia \;which creates blocks of color. \;Sometimes c alled &ldquo\;picture knitting&rdquo\;\, we'll discover how to switch colo rs mid-row to create large areas of color to knit a square swatch with a h eart motif.

Session 2: \;Using Mosaic knitting\, only one color is used per row and by using slip stitches\, we'll create a beautiful design block that can be used as a coaster\, dishcloth\, potholder or afghan square.\n

Session 3: The most complex color technique is Stranded or Fair Isle knitting . \; We'll look at different techniques on how to hold two different c olors of yarn as we incorporate color \;into an intricate pattern.
