2 Strings = Not Scary FIBER FRIDAYS with Mary Scott Huff via ZOOM!

In this introduction to stranded colorwork, we will learn the basic moves for handling two strands at the same time, and what is special about the construction of stranded colorwork.  We will practice stranding by swatching in class, then begin a stranded colorwork hat pattern.  No stranded knitting experience is necessary!
