Freaked over Fair Isle? Curious about stranded colorwork techniques? Intimidated by multiple strands of yarn in multiple colors? Not sure how gauge works or how to trap those floats? This is the workshop for you! In my most popular workshop, we’ll cover basic Fair Isle knitting techniques for English, Continental and Combination knitters, tackle common issues, proper technique, color theory, how to trap floats, how to read charts, Fair Isle history, and setting good Fair Isle knitting habits. We’ll put these techniques into practice while working up the popular Retro Modern Cowl.

The easygoing cousin of stranded colorwork, slip-stitch knitting is a fun and easy technique that brings more color into your work without the stranding or trapping of floats like Fair Isle, or fussiness of intarsia. We’ll knit up the Bow Tie Pasta Fingerless Mitts in DK weight yarn, discuss the different types of colorwork, how to read charts, mattress stitching, basic color theory, and finishing techniques. You’ll be addicted in no time!
