Description ~ Two-Handed Stranded Color Work

Stranded colorwork such as beautiful Fair Isle sweaters are often what we imagine when we think of British Isles and knitting.  Working colorwork with only one hand holding your yarn can create a real tangled disaster, but there is a better way! Learn to knit simple colorwork motifs holding a yarn in each hand and your knitting will fly. We will start with a Channel Island cast on, work a 2-color, corrugated rib, and then create a colorwork fingerless mitt you will be able to wear as a memento of our cruise.
