Beginning Intarsia Knitting
This workshop will introduce Intarsia knitting –a two-color, colorwork knitting technique. We’ll discuss how to read charts, the basics of working with multiple colors, how to hold and knit with two yarns, and how to maintain good tension in your knitting. You’ll learn the technique by knitting a swatch with a Intarsia pattern.
