Tinking is a necessary skill for every knitter. It can be frustrating to see a mistake a few stitches or rows back & not be able to fix it. Bring a stockinette swatch with live stitches on the needle, spare yarn & a tapestry needle to learn how to do this empowering technique.
Basics of Stranded Colorwork

There are so many gorgeous knitting patterns that use stranded colorwork to create beautiful multi-colored designs. It is often showcased in Scandinavian designs, as well as many modern knits.

Seaming confidence will open up an entire world of new patterns to knit! From stunning cowls & hats to gorgeous tops & sweaters. Bring 2 completed stockinette swatches, spare yarn & a tapestry needle to this workshop where you will learn how to create an invisible seam using the mattress stitch.
There will also be tips & tricks to master tension, as well as alignment, so this is a handy workshop even if you are familiar with seaming.
