Lady Eleanor Wrap
$20 (one session)
This project is great for those wanting to add entrelac to their grab bag of skills. Entrelac is a truly fascinating and fun technique that makes a finished garment look much more complicated than what it is. Lady Eleanor is knitted with striping yarn that creates the illusion that you are changing colors on each square. Also, there is no seaming! The squares are created by picking up stitches from another square.
Skill Level: The knitter needs to be proficient with the knit and purl stitch, basic decreases, and how to correct basic mistakes.
Upcoming Class:
Saturday - April 28 - 10:30-3:30pm
