Stranded colorwork is fun to knit because you see a pattern come alive with your yarn and needles. In this class, we will talk about what kind of yarn to use, how to choose colors for a project, how to read charts, and how to knit with two yarns in the same row/round. We will also discuss color dominance, floats, and carrying the yarn. Finally, you will also learn how to add a new color and how to weave in the ends. The chart patterns were taken from the book "The Doodle Knit Directory" by Jamie Lomax. We will also talk about how Chonita used this book to design the headband. Materials Needed Yarn - 2 colors of Worsted Weight non-superwash wool.We recommend Cascade 220. (The samples were knit with Kelbourne Woolens Germantown in Baby Blue and Oxford Blue.)Needles - 16" Circular Needles in sizes US 6 (4mm) and US 7 (4.5mm)Stitch Markers - You will want a selection of markers, including one unique for the beginning of the round.
