Class price: $

This class teaches the "Burrastow Bag", a stranded colourwork bag knitted in the round using eight colours of Jamieson's Spindrift — a wonderful way to really get your hands into traditional Fair Isle colourwork. The bag is built in three knitted sections: side one, the bottom, and side two, with no shaping needed. Over two sessions we'll set up and knit the tube together, then experience the moment every colourwork knitter should try at least once: cutting into your own knitting, live, as a group. We'll finish with a look at different finishing routes — lined or unlined — plus zipper insertion, so you can take your bag home and complete it your way.
Note: The recording of this class will be available to registered students for two weeks after the class session. If you do not wish to have access to the recording, use Coupon Code LIVECLASS at checkout for $15 off the price of the class.
