My absolute favorite type of knitting (well, along with those Latvian mittens)! I’ve made more than a dozen Fair Isle sweaters and each one is a new adventure in color-work. They look intimidating with all those colors – but there’s only two colors in a row! These sweaters are classics and they never go out of style. Come join me!
Students will receive a kit that includes 7 colors of Spindrift Shetland wool, 5 buttons, pattern and booklet. Over the course of our 4 sessions together, we’ll knit a sampler baby vest learning all the techniques used in knitting a traditional Fair Isle. From doing a color swatch gauge, setting steeks, stranding colors, cutting the steeks and tacking down steeks each week, students will learn a new element or technique as they work their way through the vest pattern. This class is suitable for experienced knitters comfortable with two color knitting techniques.
Class fee includes Simply Shetland Kit (7 colors of yarn, 5 buttons), instructions, Baby Bear Vest Pattern, instructions and booklet.
