Stitch House Series: Intarsia

One of the most maligned and misunderstood techniques in knitting!

Have you ever loved a pattern but turned it down because it involved intarsia? Have you tried it and found your edges wonky or quit because of the yarn nest forming in your lap? Come have fun unlearning all the misinformation liberating your prejudices for fabulous results, and opening up a whole new world of possibilities for your needles. We’ll knit a swatch in class you can sew as a trophy to your brownie sash and talk about the several varieties of intarsia and yarn management strategies for minimizing ends.

Green Mountain Spinnery Weekend

This is a retreat in the truest sense, a weekend away, moments of peace and quiet, a chance to visit Vermont with your needles and yarn and knit with like-minded crafters who are equally excited about learning new tips and techniques.

We will focus on intarsia and techniques that are related to intarsia, refreshing this classic technique through contemporary applications. We’ll begin with an intarsia introduction, then we’ll learn more about the eddy shells. On Sunday, we’ll conclude by working on a beautifully simple and graphic mitten in the round designed specifically for this event, practicing various stranding options and possible embellishments.
