Faina Goberstein Workshop 4

Thursday, June 8, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Shades of Amber Cowl

Working on the actual pattern of Shades of Amber cowl is a fun way to get to know slip-stitch knitting. This cowl is worked in a very simple variation of Woven Waves stitch pattern combined with Dewdrop cast on and I-cord bind off. Choose your own colors that are vibrant enough to pop when put together.

We will talk about all what is needed for making this beautiful project, try all the techniques involved and see many swatches and samples from The Art of Slip-Stitch Knitting and more designed by Faina Goberstein. It is a very exciting class that opens a whole world of stitches that are easy to knit and at the same time to make a fashion statement. Pattern is not included with the class

Level of Experience:  Advanced Beginner. You must know how to knit in the round.

Homework: Bring your thoughts about the ways you use a slipped stitch in your knitting already.

  1.  Purchase the pattern. It is available on Ravelry .
  2.  Yarn for practicing: two balls of contrasting-color yarn and suitable size circular needles in 24” length.
