Mosaic Magic

Description:

Float free, fuss free colourwork: is that a thing? Let Pru Raymond teach you the ingenious colourwork technique invented in the 1960s by Barbara Walker: Mosaic Knitting. This class will also feature how to decrease and increase when working mosaic colourwork patterns, and how to design your own charts.

Materials:

• Needles: 4 mm knitting needles (circular or straight)
• Yarn: 2 x 50g balls of 8ply/DK yarn in solid/ semi solid colours with a high contrast (ie. one white/ very light coloured yarn and one mid- dark coloured yarn) 

Skill level: 

This class is designed to accomodate knitters of all abilities: from novice knitters up to intermediate level. As this workshop is a purl free zone, even ambitious beginners might want to have a go: mosaic knitting just requires ability to work a knit stitch!
