Workshop Info

Sometimes all you need are knits and purls! This workshop explores texture in knitting by looking at a few of the possibilities for combining knits, purls, and the occasional slipped stitch to make beautiful fabrics. We’ll look at examples of different stitch combinations and we’ll make several swatches as practice. As a part of the workshop, knitters will receive a copy of the Time Dilation shawl so they can put their new skills to work. Along the way we’ll talk about how yarn choice and gauge can both make a big impact in the appearance of textured stitch patterns.
