Interesting patterning effects can be created by stranding color vertically in your knitting. During class, we will learn to prepare our yarn, read a chart, and properly manage the yarn as we work our way through two sample charts prepared for you. Lastly, you will venture out to write your own chart and begin to knit it. The design possibilities are many and can be worked easily into other knitting projects to liven up your knitting. One sock pattern will be provided by Lorilee to use with your newly acquired skills.
This class is taught by: Lorilee Beltman.
