Description
Ready to move beyond basic stranded colorwork? Let your imagination and creativity take over in this Design Your Own Stranded Colorwork Cowl workshop! Working with simple graph paper, we’ll start your very own design from scratch, beginning with inspiration, sketching, moving onwards to design, figuring out how to manipulate the math, and finally start knitting your own work of art! Worried that you’re not an artist? All you need is an idea, a love of knitting, and the desire to try something new.
Skills Learned: sketching, design, manipulate the math
Skills Needed: Previous colorwork experience necessary (taking Stranded Colorwork with Tanis before this class is fine!)
