An in-person class with Kristin Drysdale

Mar 2, 1:30-4:30pm & Mar 3, 1:30-4:30pm

Learn to knit with two and three colors in a round with ease (without dropping yarn, getting tangled, or swearing) as you make the Lady Catherine Hat.

Knitting with three colors is a bit like a dance; you will learn weave colors in and out, catch floats where you need to — all without getting your colors all twisted up.

We will cover:
• Knitting with the right hand
• Knitting with the left hand
• Knitting with two colors in your left hand
• Catching floats with the main color
• Catching floats with 1 or 2 contrasting colors
• Chart reading
• Tips and tricks
• Weaving new colors in and out
• Picking up and knitting stitches
• Decreasing in color-work

Special Skills
Knitters need to be able to cast on, knit, and purl.
