Beginning Colorwork Knitting

Have you always wanted to try colorwork, but felt intimidated? Would you like to try your hand at this fun knitting technique? Then this class is for you! This is an open class, meaning you can find a colorwork project that you want to do and we’ll start work on it. I have a list of free patterns and other resources for you to peruse and if you need some help deciding, I’m always within email distance. You need to bring along your pattern, needles, and yarn for the project.
