Description: The Stranded Colorwork Knit Cowl Workshop will teach you how to follow a colorwork chart and knit a design using the Stranded Colorwork technique. We’ll go over how to hold your yarn most effectively, keep your knitting tension even while changing colors and some tips and tricks to make colorwork a breeze! The first session will cover casting on the project and learning the basics of Stranded Colorwork. In the next session, we’ll bind off and talk about how to block your cowl-neck scarf to get the best results! Participants must be 14 years old+.
