Learn fair isle / colorwork this Friday in our next retreat

by Danielle | September 30, 2009

Friday night, 7-9 p.m. is our next workshop / retreat. This one features Tanis Gray, the former Yarn Editor for Soho Publishing (home of Vogue Knitting!) Tanis will be teaching fair isle technique, including how to create your very own design for a hat and mitten set.  I am super excited, as I really want to make a custom design to use for my holiday gifts this year…and because you are designing your own, you can use any gauge yarn! We are also serving up appetizers from Rustico (mmm…mac and cheese balls) and lattes or hot cocoa. Don’t miss out!

Prerequisites: ability to knit and purl and work some increases and decreases. Experience with colorwork would be helpful but not necessary

*This is a two week workshop, meeting Oct 2 & 9 from 7-9 p.m.

    Is there anything we need to bring for the first class besides ourselves?

    would be good to bring a range of needles so that after you pick out your yarn, you can pair the right needles. notions as well, of course.

    Tanis is bringing the charts, etc that you will need
