Description
Instructor: Jeanne Davidson
Friday: 9:00 am – 12:00 noon
Workshop description: In this workshop we’ll explore the basics of designing Fair Isle and stranded knitting projects. Stranded knitting can be incorporated into existing patterns, or you can design your own patterns and motifs for a project. Students will spend time creating or modifying patterns using variations in color choices or motif adjustments. We’ll discuss how gauge and yarn types impact the process, how to center the pattern motifs, and how to ensure a good fit between the pattern motifs and the project.
Materials fee: There is no materials fee. The instructor will provide initial pattern ideas and swatches, graph paper, and colored pencils.
Student supply list: Students are to bring colored pencils and eraser, if available, ideas for projects and/or patterns to use, and questions, questions, questions!
Skill level: Students should have basic experience/familiarity with stranded knitting..
Max # of students: 20
