In this class we’ll take short-row colorwork to the next level!
Woolly will talk through how to incorporate the motifs from their book, Short-Row Colorwork Knitting: The Definitive Step-by-Step Guide, into your own designs.
Whether you want to use them as a standalone motif, work them in the round, or consider incorporating shaping, Woolly will work through examples in the class and expand on the designing chapter within the book.
Designing with short-row colorwork, and even designing your own short-colorwork motifs, is a book in and of itself; the class will be a springboard to get you started so you can develop your own ideas further! To make the most of this class, bring a device that can use a standard spreadsheet software, so that Woolly can share their clever time-saving process. You can also use graph paper to map out your ideas.
Technique Requirements: knit/purl, cast on/bind off, working in the round, chart reading, have knit a few accessories, easy colorwork, advanced colorwork, basic finishing techniques, short rows

Bring your copy of Woolly Wormhead's book Short-Row Colorwork Knitting, if you already have it, or purchase one by December 1 through our website in order to receive it in advance of the class—and to receive 30% off. Order it here. If you have a tablet or small laptop for use with spreadsheet software, that would be great, but be aware that there are limited to no electrical outlets in the classroom, so bring it fully charged or have an external battery! We can also work on graph paper if you bring that.
