Description:

Our six week program will introduce knitters to the Fair Isle tradition and the techniques that define it.  While working through a simple but interesting Fair Isle cardigan, the Plum Frost, knitters will venture into the world of the tubular cast on, stranded colourwork, grafting, and steeking.  Optional ribbing ideas will be offered for those who want a bit more of a challenge.

Materials:
