Susan Rainey: An Introduction to Stranded Knitting
We are so sorry to announce that Susan had to cancel due to a medical emergency. We hope to be able to offer this class in the future but it will be a while.
Stranded knitting encompasses many popular and exciting styles: fair isle, Norwegian, mosaic, Swedish Bohus. Susan will describe stranded knitting basics: how to read charts, the role of color dominance, and how to attain proper tension. How do you feel about cutting your knitting? Susan will discuss the what and why of “steeks.” She will also provide a brief overview of different ways to do two-color knitting.
This will be in lecture format with an opportunity for you to ask questions. If you love this and want to do more, you'll want to sign up for the class she will be teaching.
