Knitting with two colors at once opens the doors for so many beautiful projects. In this class, you’ll take the first steps to mastering this skill, practicing working with two yarns at once and trying different ways to hold the yarn to find the most comfortable method for your knitting style. I will share my fool proof method to avoid the tension issues that can ruin a beautiful stranded project. Students will leave class with the beginning of a swatch that can be used as a decorative cuff or a mug cozy.

Students should know how to cast on and to use knit and purl stitches, and will benefit from already knowing how to work in the round. Please bring to class two colors of good quality worsted weight yarn that are in high contrast to each other. You may bring more than two colors if you like, the more the merrier! Also bring a full set of four or five double pointed needles and/or a pair of circular needles of matching sizes that you would use for worsted weight yarn. Many knitters are comfortable using anywhere from US 5 to 8. You'll also need scissors, your phone camera, and a stitch marker.
