Saturday, April 26th - 1:30 - 3:30

In this class Emily will teach you the tricks to get a beautiful finished Fair Isle piece. You will have the option to learn a 2-color rib, known as a corrugated rib. How do I read one of those charts? We will go over this; reading a color chart in the round. We will look at ways to design your own Fair Isle hat.

Prior experience in knitting, purling and knitting in the round is required.

Emily Cross has been creating with fiber her whole life, although she maintains it is an urban myth that she was born knitting. She will cheerfully admit to sewing, quilting, felting, knitting and crocheting for over 40 years! In reviews, students have reported she is an extremely patient and encouraging teacher. To achieve this, she keeps class size small and intimate with only 4 to 6 students in each class.

This class meets twice for a total of 4 hours, 2 hours each day. The classes are spaced 2 weeks apart to give you time to make progress.

$100.00 plus materials

Pattern for hat will be provided in class.
