Suzanne Nielsen – Pooling Workshop

Overview

In this workshop we will explore the idea of yarn lead pooling. Have you ever loved how the yarn looked in the skein but were disappointed with how it looked when knit? This method will give you more control! Plus, you will learn the skill of knitting in the opposite direction.

Students will receive “The Dance” cowl pattern and the “Synchronized Swimming” scarf pattern. Techniques used in both patterns will be covered.

Skills learned
