Creating and Navigating Complex Stranded Knitting Charts 

---

Think Big! In this class, I’ll walk you through how I create original, large scale, complex colorwork charts. Beginning with where to look for design inspiration, we will discuss each step: swatching, drawing, and knitting, all the way through to the completing a project. You’ll see how I work as I walk you through the crafting of these “life-size” charts.

Once we learn how it’s done, you will put your skills to the test by beginning this colorwork cowl that requires navigating a complex chart. After the class, you’ll continue this project and it will serve as a gorgeous reminder of your time at the event.
