*Note about Class Level*
This is class 301 and is not for beginners. This class does not cover the basics of stranded colorwork (there will be a class for that later this spring). It is assumed that a participate has either completed a basic stranded colorwork project before and wants more practice, has taught themselves the concepts and is ready to give it a try, or is ready to take on the technique with MINIMAL support. While some of the focus is on stranded work, this is not a “how to do stranded color work” class. If you would like to join the class, but have never worked this technique, you are encouraged to schedule a private session with the instructor PRIOR to enrolling in the class so that you are ready to take on the additional challenges of the course.
