Description
Learn to knit stranded colorwork — a technique that opens up endless possibilities from classic, vibrant two-color designs to intricate Fair Isle beauty. This course will guide you through stranded colorwork techniques, gauge swatching for stranded colorwork in the round, how to read a colorwork chart, and how to manage and adjust tension in stranded colorwork.
