Fiona -Experiment
with Colour and Fair Isle 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.

Fiona-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!

Barry
- Complete from the Neck Down
(Cast on and create a miniature sweater from the top down while learning
about body style, measurements, the mathematics behind the knitting, and
putting it all together.) |
||
|
|
Fiona-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.

| Sunday Morning Oct. 5th | |||

Barry
- Ruffles
This is a new class that Barry is working on. You will be working
with one of his new yarns to create ruffles. Three different options
will be available for the class. This technique will be taught on
a scarf but can be used on garments. See
pictures at gonestitchin.com. More pictures will follow at the end of January.

Fiona-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?)
