Fiber Friday! The Art of Knitting 3D Dragon Scales (ZOOM)

During the class, we will dive into the intricate world of dragon-inspired knits, starting with a 15-scale dragon
swatch. I will guide you through each step, teaching you how to create perfect 3D scales and apply beads
for that extra touch of magic.
In the second half of the class, we'll explore the art of finishing, from learning the anatomy of the 3-layer
tassels to a unique blocking technique that will elevate your designs to new heights. Be inspired as we
showcase multiple samples in an array of fibers and colors, igniting your creativity and empowering you to
craft your own truly unique dragon-inspired knitwear.
