3PM - 5PM EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME

Have you wanted to inject some colorwork into your knitting life? Have you watched videos or read directions about other techniques and felt hopelessly confused by handling two (or more) strands of yarn simultaneously? In this class, you will be introduced to a very beginner-friendly colorwork technique that involves handling yarn one color at a time and there are no extra lengths to trap behind your work. If you know how to knit a stitch and how to slip a stitch, you are well on your way to mosaic knitting. In this class you will learn the mosaic knitting technique and will work on a swatch for a sock pattern, we will also discuss ways on manipulating a pattern to create visual interest in a pattern. In this 2-hour class, in addition to learning basic mosaic techniques, participants will learn a more complex mosaic technique and receive a free pattern exclusive to this course.

Supplies needed for the class

• At least 20 grams of medium weight (sport, DK, or light worsted) yarn in 2 colors (one light color and one dark color), for a total of 40 grams of yarn.
• Knitting needle in US Size 5 or 6 (straight or circular needles can be used)
• Pen/Pencil for taking notes
