MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30
5-8 PM
This is the pattern that breaks all the rules! Make fun color patterns without carrying more than one yarn; don’t weave in a single end, even if you are working in 10 colors; cut up your knitting without fear! Fizzy Drinks is the perfect way to learn mosaic knitting and to plunge into felting fun.
You'll learn the basics of mosaic knitting, how to work mosaic patterning, and important rules for color choice and combination that applies to all types of colorwork. You'll also learn how to hand-felt knitted objects.
Required Skills: Students should know how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off.
Materials: Approximately 30 yards of each of two contrasting colors of NON-SUPERWASH worsted-weight yarn, needles one size bigger than you would usually use for this yarn (for example, US#8-10) plus a sharp pair of scissors. Additional colors of the same weight of non-superwash yarn can make the project even more fun. Please be aware that if your yarn is listed as being machine washable or “easy care," it will not work for this project.
Homework: none
