Color Play the Westknits Way!
This class is all about showing off beautiful yarns with simple techniques combined in clever ways.

If you have a colorful Westknits project you would like to begin, there will be time to cast on a new project in the last hour of class.

Marled Magic Shawl, Marled Magic Sweater,
Dotted Rays, Parachutey, Chevron Shenanigans,

Westknits Shawl Mashup
In this workshop you will explore Stephen West's shawl world as he demonstrates several of his top-down shawl construction methods.
You will be given a handout in class filled with Stephen's favorite techniques, stitch patterns, and shaping ideas.
Stephen will help you mix your favorite elements together into your very own shawl mashup.
You will be guided to either use a simple shawl shape to fill with texture and color if you prefer to follow a pattern as a guideline or you can also create your very own knitted shape if you like to improvise and experiment.
Emphasis will be focused on experimenting with elements like colorful stripes, Westknits shortcut rows, and yarn overs.
Prepare to be inspired!
