October Program: Mosaic Coaster with Karen & Jeanne
Mosaic knitting is an easy and fun way to introduce colorwork into your knitting. This month’s program explores techniques and patterns for mosaic knitting. Bring two contrasting colors (light and dark works well) and the appropriate needles for the yarn weight. Worsted or DK weight works best. Smaller amounts of leftover yarn will be fine. We will work on a small project that can be completed at the meeting!
