Advanced beginner - advanced level.  Working with colour can be so much fun! And dreaming up your own colour story is very rewarding. In this workshop we will look at colour theory and apply it to knitting. There will be time to experiment by yourself to see what happens when you introduce a new colour palette to a tried and tested pattern. For students who are unsure of how to work the Fair Isle method instruction will be given.
 
 
 

oFiona-Morphing Cables

Intermediate - advanced level.  Fiona is famous for her morphing cables-cables that change and become other patterns. In this workshop she will show you the basic principles of how to get started designing your own cables. Even if you are not an advanced cable knitter, give it a try. Simple patterns can morph and create unique ideas. If you love cables but find working vertical patterns too repetitive and want to heighten the challenge, this workshop is a must!
 
 

oFiona-Short Rows for Shaping and Beyond

Intermediate - advanced level.  Want to knit 'round corners with confidence? In this workshop Fiona will show you how to work the short-row method for shoulder and bust dart shaping. The she will show you how to use the technique as a tool for designing stunning patterns not just for shaping silhouettes.

oFiona-Celtic Cables

Intermediate to advanced.  When knitting cables based on Celtic patterns there are some techniques that you may not use in regular rope cables. While you knit a sample to try them out, Fiona will demo the techniques, show you how to read the charts- including looking at the symbols used, and for the more advanced cable knitter discuss how you might modify patterns to make them your own. With an understanding of what is taking place when cabling you will be better able to follow a pattern or fix any mistakes as they arise (which never happens right?)
