Introduction to colour work and corrugated rib knitting Workshop
The course is aimed to the advanced knitter. In a colour work knitting pattern you will use two or more colours in a single row or round. The workshop focus is on the corrugated rib pattern. A corrugated rib is not a stretchy rip and has less elasticity than other ribbing patterns. However it is a decorative technique used on Fair Isle and other colour work projects. You will learn how to carry on the yarn on the backside of your work, creating a perfect tension. In the course you will be knitting a sample going forward and backwards. We won’t be knitting in the round.
Please bring knitting needles size 2.75mm or 3mm with you. These could be purchased at the beginning of the workshop if you don’t already have them.
Yarn will be supplied. We will be working with West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4ply.
