Introduction to Fair Isle Knitting Class (Session 4 of 4)

Introduction to Fair Isle Knitting Class (Session 4 of 4)

Introduction to Fair Isle Knitting Class (Session 4 of 4)

My absolute favorite type of knitting (well, along with those Latvian mittens)! I’ve made more than a dozen Fair Isle sweaters and each one is a new adventure in color-work. They look intimidating with all those colors – but there’s only two colors in a row! These sweaters are classics and they never go out of style. Come join me!!

Students will receive a kit that includes 7 colors of Spindrift Shetland wool, 5 buttons, pattern and booklet. Over the course of our 4 sessions together we’ll knit a sampler baby vest learning all the techniques used in knitting a traditional Fair Isle. From doing a color swatch gauge, setting steeks, stranding colors, cutting the steeks and tacking down steeks each week students will learn a new element or technique as they work their way through the vest pattern. This class is suitable for experienced knitters comfortable with two color knitting techniques.

What I Teach

Run a shop, guild, or retreat? These are a few of the classes I have taught in the past, but this list is not exhaustive. My emphasis is on technique, confidence, and mastery over the art of knitting.

What Students Are Saying

“I didn’t know if the basic knitting class was going to be unnecessary for me but decided to get a good foundation. Well, that is exactly what I got and more. Thank you, Lisa, for getting me on the right track and excited about becoming proficient at a skill I never thought possible. I highly, highly recommend anyone who has just decided to begin the lovely art of knitting to take this class!”

Roseann Neilson — ★★★★★ (Beyond Basic Knitting)

“This was a great class. Very helpful. Learned new techniques and cemented old ones. Everything was presented clearly and Lisa always took the time to make sure everyone understood. It didn’t feel like a six hour class. Loved it.”

Scott Noel — ★★★★★ (Finishing Class)

“Lisa is a very patient and kind teacher. She makes sure the classes are small so each person has enough space to work and can get 1:1 attention. Because of her, I now know how to knit correctly and how to fix mistakes as I get more experience. I’m looking forward to signing up for more of her classes.”

Kat Brown — ★★★★★ Google Review

Interested in Booking a Knitting Teacher?

I love teaching at shops, guilds, retreats, and fiber festivals. If you’re looking for an instructor for your next event, I’d love to hear from you.
