Learn Stranded Knitting with Andrea Wong
In this class we will explore how to work with two colors per round. Experience with stranded knitting is helpful but not required.
Participants will learn techniques for knitting and purling while maintaining consistent tension when working with multiple colors. Once everyone feels comfortable managing tension, we will begin purling in the round and then introduce a second color.
For knitters who are feeling more adventurous, we may also experiment with introducing a third or even fourth color.
This workshop is open to students age 16+
