Description ~ Stripes and Stripes That Aren't

This class may not be what you're thinking it is because it is about so much more than stripes. The entire second half of the class is about stitch patterns that create wonderful fabrics that do NOT look like stripes even though you actually knit stripes. If you have Sally's color book refer to these two chapters.

In Stripes… oh so easy to knit! But who can wear them? This workshop explores ways to build stripes, knit stripes, and match stripes. And then we’ll play with simple stitch patterns that knit like stripes but don’t look like stripes and can produce some of your favorite knitting.
