Kristin Knits and Color by Kristin will be
holding two workshops $40 each or both for $75
Embellishing Your
Creations 9:30-noon This is open to all knitters and
weavers. Do you love making colorful creations but Fair Isle
or Intarsia techniques aren't quite your thing? Step into
Kristin's world of embellishing garments and home goods with a
needle and thread. The easy techniques you will learn will
help add personality and panache to all your knitted and woven
creations . . . and they are a whole lot of fun, too! You'll
learn duplicate stitch, chain stitch, French knots, lazy
daisies, spider web, running stitch, and more. Kristin will
share her helpful techniques to give your embroidery a
professional look. When you're finished, you'll be able to
decorate your own knitwear with fantastic flourishes that will
make your work sparkle.
Students should bring one
8x8" swatch woven or knitted in worsted weight stockinette
stitch. Several colors of smooth worsted weight yarn. Tapestry
needle (blunt point). Scissors. Optional: Two-color Fair Isle
swatch.
The Edge
of Color 1:15-3:45
p.m. Edge treatments are like the icing on a cake.
They can turn a plain old stockinette stitch pullover into one
with lots of style. Kristin Nicholas uses odd little edge
treatments on almost all her knitwear designs. Spend a few
hours with her and you will learn about picot edging,
corrugated ribbing, bobbled edges, mitered edges, lacey edges,
lumpy edges, ruffles, points, fringed, cabled edges, moss
stitched, and sculpted bell edges. Many of the edges will be
knit in multiple colors. You'll leave with lots of new ideas
to transform plain knits into knits that are out of the
ordinary.
Students must bring an 8x8" swatch knit in
stockinette stitch using a worsted weight yarn. Bring size 7
double-pointed needles (only 2 are needed, not 4). Scissors.
Several colors of solid worsted weight yarn.
