Pru Raymond – Full-on Fair Isle Workshop – Presented by The HandMakers Store

May 16 @ 1:30pm - 4:30pm
Get full on with Fair Isle with Pru Raymond. Develop techniques to make your colourwork stitches pop, and your floats so beautiful you’ll want to wear your jumpers inside out. Learn to slice your knitting open like a pro, and add bands and cuffs. Leave with a new level of confidence to cast on more advanced Stranded Colourwork projects.
Materials: 4mm circular knitting needle with 80cm circumference for Magic Loop or DPNs. 2 x 50g balls of 8 ply/DK non-superwash yarn in solid/semi solid colours with high contrast (ie.one white/very light coloured yarn and one mid to dark coloured yarn). Skill Level: This class is designed for knitters to improve and extend their Stranded Colourwork skills to include better yarn management strategies, consistent with colour dominance, catching floats (how, why and when), and steeking (‘unfinished’ method). Experience of Magic Loop recommended but not essential. Pru Raymond has sold out knitting workshops and stackable retreats in yarn stores, knitting festivals and community centres Australia-wide, and in yarn stores on tHE east and west coast of USA. Pru has worked as a qualified teacher for almost 20 years. She combines her expertise as a professional educator and her lifelong passion for knitting to develop original, engaging knitting workshops that are inclusive of all learners. Pru has an in-depth knowledge of diverse styles and techniques and demonstrates new skills in English, Combination an Continental Styles. Pru also designs and publishes knitting patterns and has produced a range of knitting themed books which are available in select yarn stores and on Amazon globally.
