Knitworthy - Doodle Workshop

This 3 hour workshop is for knitters with colorwork experience who can complete a simple project from cast on to bind off independently. More advanced knitters are welcome too! Let's Doodle with yarn! What are Doodles, you ask?  Imagine a deck of cards that is actually a deck of colorwork charts you can mix and match to create themed projects from a simple cowl to a sweater!  You will get a Doodle Deck and all our Leizu DK yarn will be available for you to select your color palette. If picking out colors is daunting, no worries, you can opt to pick one of our carefully curated kits. 1 100g skein and 3 20g mini skeins are included with the class which is more than enough to make a single-sided cowl.  Now the fun begins!

It's time to select your color palette. We'll have all of our Leizu DK set out for you to choose your 1 full skein and 3 minis included with the workshop. Or... just pick one of our carefully curated kits. :) Explore the 51 Unique Colorwork charts in your deck and find the ones that speak to you!  We will talk about how to balance them, mixing and matching the different designs and heights to create your own colorwork pattern that will fit your cowl. A worksheet will be provided. Then you can play with your colors and pair them with your charts. We will talk about color dominance and ensure that you have enough color contrast for a successful result. Do you use the 2 Hand Colorwork technique? If not, we are here to guide you. It was a game changer for us! We will talk about all the different projects you can do with Doodles... from infinity cowls, to holiday stockings, hats, and sweaters. You can also add extra details to simple doodle projects like a Latvian Braid or bobbles. There is no wrong way and mixing and matching is the fun stuff!  Doodles come with a warning... they are like potato chips. You can’t stop at 1!!! You may find there is time to cast on, so yarn winding will be available for yarn included with the workshop.
