Go beyond the basics of the knit and purl stitch and enter the realm of texture. How do we achieve texture? What stitch combinations create texture? We will explore cables, lace, overall textures and small area textures. You will learn how to read patterns that involve textured stitches. You will examine various stitch dictionaries and resources that will enable you to extend your learning beyond this classroom. The student will walk away from this class with a sampler of his/her design and a large vocabulary of texture stitches with the confidence and the ability to discover more.
