Mary brought her inimitable flair to our retreat last spring, so we jumped at the chance to have her back with this class that she invented just for us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Are you a beginning or intermediate knitter wanting to learn the basics of two-color stranded colorwork so you can take your knitting to another level? We thought so\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you\u2019ve been admiring beautiful stranded colorwork but are nervous about working with two colors at the same time, you\u2019ll have all the basic skills you\u2019ll need after taking this three-hour class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Use this class as an introduction to or refinement of stranded colorwork knitting. All experience levels are welcome; you need to know only how to cast on, knit, and purl.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Together we will explore foolproof techniques for creating beautiful pictures in your knitting, in addition to the cohesive, gauge-accurate knitted fabric. Most of the class will be spent working on a gauge swatch in worsted weight yarn; after you\u2019ve practiced the techniques, you\u2019ll have all the skills you need to create the beautiful <strong>\u201cForest for the Trees\u201d hat in fingering weight Shetland by Elemental Affects, included in the price of the class.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Homework:\u00a0<\/strong>None required, but if you would like to be ready to start your hat at the end of class, complete the cast-on and first three rows of k1 p1 rib indicated in the pattern. Again, this is not required, as we will be working mostly on our practice swatch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>BONUS:<\/strong> Knitters who have completed this class and the hat will be ready to join Mary for her \u201cStranded With Mary\u201d workshop, which will take place after the New Year, and will include a Bazaar Girls exclusive design!
