Andalucia Scarf designed by Abbott Smith

Half of the joy of going into a yarn shop is staring at all of the beautiful colors just waiting on the shelf. Yet working with color overwhelms many knitters. Many knitters restrict themselves to a few basic color choices and shun color work such as Intarsia or Stranded knitting because they are not confident in their color choices. Join Abbott as he takes the mystery out of knitting with color and explains how a few basic principles can forever impact your knitting. As with all of Abbott’s classes you will also get a bit of history, some science, folklore and very specific knitting strategies for working with color. We will be knitting a color sampler scarf that Abbott is designing specifically for this class! Students should be comfortable with basic stranded knitting in the round or double knitting.
