Learn to knit colorwork while working on an elegant earwarmer. If you've mastered knitting basics and are looking to tackle more complex projects, this workshop is for you! By the end of this class you’ll be ready to tackle larger colorwork patterns of your choosing.

In this three hour workshop, we'll cast on the With the Flow Earwarmer pattern and learn colorwork techniques as we go. You will learn how to:

  • Stranded colorwork  
  • Knitting both Continental and English style at the same time 
  • Yarn management 
  • Carrying floats 
  • Reading a chart  

Due to the slow nature of knitting, you may not finish the earwarmer during class hours. However, we will cover all of the trickiest parts of the pattern, and you'll be well-prepared to finish on your own! 

This is an intermediate level knitting workshop. If you're a newbie or need a refresher on any of the above, join us for Knitting 101 and Knitting 102 (Bow Headband or Hat) to get some practice in and build your skills!

Kristin Parker (she/her) is a queer fiber artist currently living on Lenape/Canarsee territory in now-called Brooklyn. Her work centers around interdependence, repair, and connection. Kristin has been knitting for over 25 years and is particularly passionate about knitting socks as well as stranded color work using local fiber. She teaches knitting all over the city in both class formats as well as one-on-ones. Her writing about knitting has been published in Hudson Valley Textile Project’s publication Common Threads. Kristin is also very involved in the Fibershed movement and is co-leading the expansion of the New York Fibershed with NY Textile Lab. Though knitting is Kristin’s main squeeze she also adores spinning her own yarn, visible mending, natural dyeing, sewing, and dabbling in many other crafts. She is also an organizer with SURJ NYC, focusing on Indigenous Solidarity work. Connect with her at @kpmadethings on instagram.
