Alexandra Davidoff – So Rococo!

Thursday, August 7, 2025 @ 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Overview

Welcome to our projects-based class! And guess what? By mastering the elements of just one ornate pattern repeat, you’ll gain the skills to knit five stunning patterns: Guadalupe River LightVeroniqueWatersLuminesque, and Alexandra’s latest creation, Luminesque Sweater!

In this session, we’ll explore the intricacies of each design and cover essential finishing techniques for all five projects. Through hands-on practice with a swatch of one pattern repeat, you’ll dive deep into these techniques, from mastering the bobble stitch to applying beads with a steel hook, and creating an I-cord edge. We will also explore an array of embellishment techniques – from a tassel with a “secret” to other ideas for further embellishment of these designs.

Be inspired as we showcase multiple samples in an array of fibers and colors, igniting your creativity and empowering you to craft your own So Rococo pieces!
