MORE THAN FAIR ISLE: 3 - 4 hours Fee $45.00 — Knit with two colors at the same time! Jeane deCoster of Elemental Affects, will teach a Fair Isle knitting class. Fair Isle (or 2 color stranded knitting) is a technique best done in the round. Just think — no purling! Learn how to knit with one color in each hand, how to knit, cut (yes, CUT) and finish steeks for a beautiful sweater. Knitters with some experience in this knitting technique who would like to plan and start a sweater instead of participating in our introductory project are welcome to join us.
Materials: everybody will need to get 2 colors of my fingering weight yarn (the lighter weight stuff) and size 5 circular needles. (I don’t know the length of the needles yet as I’m not sure of the finished project yet :))
