September 10: The Shift - We get you started

The Shift – We Get You Started ✨🧶

September 10 - 1pm - 2:30pm

A Relaxed Knitting Session to Confidently Begin Your Project as part of our We Get You Started series ✨

Join us for a beautiful and inspiring session centered around the much-loved The Shift by Andrea Mowry ,  a fun and engaging cowl that combines shifting colors, mosaic knitting, and clever shaping to create the look of an asymmetrical triangle shawl without the fuss of styling one.

The Shift is the perfect everyday accessory for knitters who love the look of shawls but want something easy and effortless to wear. Simply throw it on, and you’re ready to go!

The design uses three colors of Sport Weight yarn, allowing you to have fun with color combinations and watch the colors shift and interact as you knit. The mosaic knitting technique creates beautiful graphic texture while working with only one color at a time, making the colorwork both approachable and enjoyable.

The cowl features I-cord edges, bias shaping, mosaic knitting, increases, decreases, and slipped stitches. Once the knitting is complete, the piece is finished using mattress stitch to create its unique and easy-to-wear cowl shape.

Together with Laurie, we will go over the pattern and construction, introduce and practice the mosaic knitting technique, talk about color placement and working with three colors, review the I-cord edges and bias shaping, answer questions, and help you confidently get started on your project in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

This session is designed to help you begin your project with confidence while enjoying a cozy and creative knitting experience together.

The idea behind our We Get You Started sessions is simple:
we meet, we explain, we practice, we start together, and then you continue knitting your project comfortably at your own pace, at home, while traveling, during cozy evenings, or wherever your knitting takes you. 🧶✨

Please note that this is not a beginner knitting class. Participants should already feel comfortable with the fundamentals of knitting and reading a pattern.
