Lisa Ross – Workshop 1: Color Confidence
Color Confidence
Knitting multi-colored projects can create fabulous graphic impact, but putting together a palette can be intimidating. This interactive class encourages you to dabble with hues and learn the basic tenets of color play that have been used by artists and graphic designers for centuries.
We’ll explore rainbows and gradients, then experience how tints, tones, and shades can combine to create magic on our needles. After discovering palettes customized to your aesthetic, we’ll explore how they can be translated into speckled, variegated, and tonal yarns. I’ll also share my most-used tips and tricks for organizing yarns for your next knitting project.
You’ll leave this class with newfound Color Confidence, ready to head to the yarn market with new palettes in mind!
