Have you been harboring the secret desire to design your own Fair Isle sweater? I will be teaching a 3-day design workshop in Preston, Washington (20 minutes outside of Seattle), on June 5, 6, and 7th that should get you started.
The workshop will be held at Suzanne Pedersen's lodge-type home--you can even spend the night there for free! (It's like Girl Scout camp for adults.)
We will cover color in Fair Isle, choosing motifs, and putting them together into a garment. I will walk through the construction of a basic sweater knit in the round with steeks, spending time on shoulder fitting issues.
It takes time to develop a design, but by the end of the weekend you will be on your way.
You don't need to be a knitting wizard to take this class--if you have knit a sweater before, are familiar with two-color stranded knitting, and are willing to experiment, then you are ready for this workshop. We have a lot of fun--here are some photos from past workshops:
Please contact Suzanne at 425-222-3554 (West coast time) or [email protected] for more details about the workshop and lodging. And of course you can ask me anything about the course content!
