Shed your fears about fiber, texture and most of all ... gauge. Join Valentina in this incredible class to learn her secrets of creative knitting; the emphasis will be on knitting without a pattern. Discover how to combine linear shapes such as rectangles, squares and strips along with linear areas of color. Combine all that with textures and embellishments and Viola! Designer’s work. Explore simple shaping ideas for sweaters, coats and shawls in this hands-on class and you will be well on your way to completing a good portion of a garment in class.
