Class Details:
Not too long ago that multicolored sweater modeled by actor Eddie Redmayne seized the attention of the knitting world. Using a short-row technique, short lengths of yarn (and absolutely NO intarsia, the stitch pattern builds a series of interlocking shapes that can be as colorful as the knitter’s stash will allow. In this class, I will share with you the many secrets I have learned in my exploration of that ingenious design, and show you how to adapt and apply its short row construction unit to an accessory project we’ll start in class. No previous experience with short rows required. Technique Requirements: knit/purl; cast on/bind off
Homework:
None
Supplies for Class:
Bring at least two colors (but as many as you like, the more the merrier!) of good-quality worsted-weight yarn, circular needles of a size you like to knit worsted-weight yarn, 3 to 4 removable stitch markers, and scissors.
