Sunday 2/2, 2/16 + 3/2
11:00am - 1:00pm
Instructor : Laura Eckel
Choose from three pattern options and learn the technique of Mosaic Knitting with our Mosaic Cowl Workshop! Mosaic knitting is a colorwork method that is easier than fair isle or stranded colorwork because you’ll only be working with one color at a time - but there are still important skills required and this class will help you master them! Some of the techniques you’ll learn regardless of which cowl pattern you chose are — the importance of tension and how to read mosaic knitting charts. Depending on which you pick, you’ll also learn about working in the round, grafting stitches and more!
