About this class:
Ready to spice up your knitting repertoire? In this workshop we’ll explore some of the more complex and intricate textures like Estonian braids, slipped stitch patterns, nupps, bobbles, and Japanese wrapped stitches. While preparing to work on a beautifully textured shawl, we’ll talk about nuances of these stitch patterns and the best ways to use them in other projects. If you enjoy a creative challenge and elaborate texture, this class is for you!
