Materials Fee: $15.00 wool, felting needle, wire armature with hooves, foam pad to work on, beads, needle and thread.

MosaicKnittingSampler (Continued from morning): $85 (for the full day)
Instructor: Suzanne Pufpaff
Mosaic Knitting is a fun and interesting way to incorporate color work into your knitting without having to work with more than one color strand at a time. Mosaic knitting is another kind of knitting that benefits from being able to work your knitting project all from the front side. In this workshop we will explore a number of simple Mosaic patterns from Barbara Walkers book on Mosaic knitting. We will review how to knit without turning your work so you will always be looking at your Mosaic from the right side and how to read a chart for Mosaic knitting.
Skill level: Basic knitting skills required.
Materials: Students should bring two colors of yarn with appropriate needles. One skein of each color will be more than enough.
Class limit: 12
