Join us here at Northwest Yarns for a class with well-known instructor, designer and author, Mary Scott Huff! Fresh off of our knitting cruise aboard the Zodiac, she will be joining us on Friday, August 9th, to teach us all how to design our own Norwegian Fana sweater.
Explore the tradition and history of the beautiful Norwegian Fana sweater as you create your own personalized pattern, for any size and color combination you wish. In this workshop, students will follow Mary's Fana "recipe" to create their own Norwegian-style work of art. Choose your favorite star motif, plan your calculations and modifications, and off you go! In addition to history and lore, we'll discuss variations on the Fana theme, including different techniques for construction, steeks, finishing, and embellishments. This project will prepare you to knit more intricate and advanced stranded colorwork patterns in the future, and even to design your own. Don't miss out on this unique class - sign up soon!
