Class Details:
This class is part demonstration, part swatch-fest, and all inspiration. I present my 3D design philosophy, and prepare you for your own discovery of knitwear in a new light! In this class you will also have a choice of knitting under close supervision the Moko-Moko Cowl using modular techniques or the Boko-Boko Cowl using lace techniques. Either of these projects are perfect examples of textured 3D knitwear accessories!
