Fair Isle Knitting Class Description:

Learn to knit colorful wool projects inspired by Fair Isle of the Shetland Islands, Scotland. Prior to class, each student must purchase one Fair Isle knitting pattern from the instructor’s website www.knittingjenny.com. During class, we will discuss the knitting pattern that each student selected, how the patterns differ, and the many options to use the pattern to create your own design and color preferences. We will learn how to take your hat pattern, for example, and create the exact hat shape or headband you prefer. We will knit during class, so please read your knitting pattern before class, to ensure you’re bringing to class the necessary tools, needles, and yarn specified in the knitting pattern.
