Knit with Color at Lill St!

Be not afraid! Come take my knitting with color class! You need only have a basic understanding of how to knit but the skills we'll cover in this 5 week class will open up a world of possibilities: you'll be able to tackle more complicated knitting patterns and be able to start designing your own.

Knitting with color can be as simple as adding stripes,


As traditional as a fair isle sweater,



Or as creative as drawing.

(My own Sirius Black scarf knit in alpaca.)

(Part of my knit postcard series- now on view in the Lill St. Textiles department- read more about the project here!)

Our class projects will cover all three of those options with a series of small projects. We'll also learn about what materials are best for color work and how to treat/wash your pieces once their completed. Slideshows of inspirational images, both traditional and conceptual, will be given as well.

It's gonna be a blast! Hope to see you all there!
