Entrelac, the next step: $45
Instructor: Suzanne Pufpaff
If you already have the basics or you took the AM class (Introduction to Entrelac Knitting), here is where you can learn to add interest to the individual rectangles of your Entrelac project. We will cover increasing the size of the rectangle, adding pattern stitches within the rectangle, shape shifting, and 3D units.
Skill Level: Some knowledge of Entrelac needed. Morning class would be enough to do the afternoon class.
Materials: Students should bring a started Entrelac Scarf which has at least the base row, one left leaning set of units and one right leaning set of units with yarn and needles. The project from the morning workshop is the perfect base for this afternoon adventure.
The instructor will provide handouts.
Class limit: 12
