Advanced Stranded Colorwork - Outpost Fingerless Mitts Workshop with Tanis Gray

Description

Ready to move beyond basic Fair Isle? We’ll work stranded colorwork in a small circumference using two 16” circular knitting needles in English, Continental, or Combination methods. However you knit, I've got you covered! We'll learn how to read colorwork charts, plan for afterthought thumbs, make Latvian Braids, discuss basic color theory, blocking, and finishing techniques. We’ll put these techniques into practice while working up the Outpost Mitts.

Supplies: 
2 Hanks fingering weight yarn 150 yds MC and 150 yds CC in highly contrasting shades (no fuzzy fibers or plant fibers - sock yarn is a great choice)
X2 Size US 1.5 (2.5mm) 16” circular knitting needles
Stitch markers
Tapestry Needle
Post-It Notes

Homework:
Come caffeinated with yarn wound and charts printed out.
