january 2010 - upcoming hand dyed yarn workshop
 
explore your color side
 
During the workshop we will explore the use of multiple color and use a variety of different types of yarns such as wool, cottons, mohairs and blends.

The workshop is to inspire more use of color in knitting projects and to help overcome any fears about using more then one color.

What you will learn by taking the workshop. How to knit from a two color pattern and to graph out your own. How to put different weights of yarn together. How to make your own ball of yarn using remaining skeins of yarn from previous projects. Basic tips on where you can find inspiration for future designs and projects.

Each student will have to know how to cast on and off. Knit and Purl. If you have done fair isle knitting or intarsia that is a plus but not necessary. How to figure out there gauge.

Each student will need to bring the following to class. Knitting needles 8-11 sizes.
Pencil Their scrap yarn two different color tones. Example browns and neutrals and green tones. Black and greys and greens and blues. reds and purples and green tones.

The finish project can either be a wrap or shawl. But this technique can be used to make a sweater, vest, pillows any item for future projects.

Instuctor Mary Jane Panebianco has been knitting for over 30 years and has taken workshops from such designers as Kaffe Fassett, Lee Anderson, Lily Chin and now
would like to share her knowledge and love of color and inspire other to do the same.

Knit opened in downtown Charleston, South Carolina in June, 2004. We relocated to 87 Wentworth St. just one year after opening. It has, in a short time, become the local knitting and creative hotspot, thanks to the generosity and energy of both our customers and staff alike. Many thanks to everyone who has joined our family and made knit the success it has become.
