Two Handed Fair Isle Knitting

If you have been intimidated by two-colour fair isle knitting this class will solve the problem many have with the correct tension in the ‘floats’ on the back because it quite simply eliminates them. Holding one colour in each hand you will learn how to knit a colour pattern while weaving the colours with every stitch leaving NO floats on the reverse side. The finished result is a neat finished ‘fabric’. In addition you will learn the technique of Latvian or Baltic braid.

As a lover of all fibre arts, I have been embroidering with silk ribbon for many years using it for art pieces, clothing and other projects. I have taught it many times and always enjoy the creativity, inspiration, and enthusiasm of my students.
