Class Details:
Gradient or ombre yarns abound in the market, either as long-repeat stripes or as gradient sets from hand-dyers. Successful knitting with either type requires planning and forethought.

Great for modular, mosaic, and straight knitting, as well as some interesting side roads. Lots of hands-on work. Technique Requirements: Knit/purl; cast on/bind off; increase/decrease; have knit a few accessories; easy colorwork; basic finishing techniques; beginner crochet

None

Sharp scissors, notebook, pen or pencil with eraser, stitch markers, tapestry needles (large and small), small calculator, needles and crochet hooks of various sizes. 1 or more skeins of long-repeat self-striping yarn such as Noro, Trendsetter Transitions or Smoothies, Lana Grossa Gomitolo Versione or Primavera
