Skill level requirement: Intermediate. This is NOT a learn to knit class; See below for more info. If you're a total beginner, check out our Knitting 101 Workshop.
 

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! 


SKILL REQUIREMENTS: This is an intermediate level knitting workshop. In order to register, you must have confidence in the following knitting skills, and have practiced them in the recent past. Due to the group nature of this workshop, we will not be able to provide instruction on the below. 

  • Knitting
  • Purling

If you're a newbie or need a refreshed 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!
