 9am-3pm Explore various ways that color can be added when contrast stitches climb vertically from round to round. These techniques do not inhibit the elasticity of the fabric. Always working in the round, we’ll play with simple zigs and zags, intersecting lines for diagonal plaid, lines between lace, and purl-only columns that look like caterpillars. (Click on the photo to left to view large photo of sample techniques.) For the last bit we'll look at strategies to including the technique in sock knitting and look at examples. Toe- up, top down, we'll look at samples and play with graph paper and stitch dictionaries. (Please note that we will be making a leg to a sock to practice the techniques that Lorilee is demonstrating, not a whole sock.)
