Students will learn how to work two colors per round using the Portuguese Style of Knitting. If you have never learned this style, your are still welcome to the class. Preference is that you have worked stranded knitting before. We are going to learn how to purl and how to control tension with both right and left hand running the yarn around the neck (or knitting pin). Once you are comfortable purling around, we are going to introduce a second color. For the more adventurous knitters, we might introduce a third and fourth color as well.
