Intarsia

Intarsia

I am offering something new in the class schedule this month, Intarsia knitting.  I like to refer to it as controlled chaos in your knitting.  Intarsia knitting enables you to introduce areas of color in any shape, size and number of colors to the background. Unlike Fair Isle knitting, that is knitted, in the round and you are able to carry your color with you and trap it along the way. Intarsia knitting is worked flat with many different yarns all going at the same time.

The Depths of Winter

The Depths of Winter

January is one of those months that seem to go on forever.  With the white snow and the grey skies, it can become very oppressive.  Many people I know flee the confines of this weather and go to some place warm and sunny.  But for those of us that stay behind, we need something to brighten our world.

 

So lets bring some color to our knitting.  This is a great time to start a Fair Isle project or a color stranded project.  If you want something small, try a pair of mittens, gloves, or socks.  We have many patterns to choose from or if you want a larger project we will help you put that together.  Try something challenging that has thirteen to twenty different colors.
