Let us introduce you to the world of stranded colorwork, often called Fair Isle
knitting. In this class we will learn the basics of knitting in color, covering several methods of
holding your yarns, reading charts, how to introduce new colors, the concept of yarn
dominance, how to avoid tangled yarns, weaving in ends, and finishing techniques. This class is
for absolute stranded knitting beginners and those looking to brush up on their techniques. We
will be knitting the Basic Norwegian Star Hat by Cara Jo Miller. (A free pattern on Ravelry.)
