Colorizing Cables
Saturday 1pm-4pm $40

Cable patterns, the essential elements of Arans and other sweater designs, are usually worked in a single color yarn. However, their impact can be even more dramatic when they are worked in color. Imagine contrast color cables traveling over a hand-painted background, or cable strands of different colors interlacing with each other. Bring knitting needles and plan to learn new color work. Materials provided.
