The Shift Cowl:  Mosaic Knitting 
Join this skill building class designed to introduce you to a new knitting technique- mosaic knitting! In this class we will use the Shift Cowl by Andrea Mowry to learn the mosaic colorwork technique. We will go over the pattern instructions together, become familiar with the technique & answer any questions so that you can continue on your project at home. Knitting in a group can provide great encouragement and excitement as you see other projects come to life.

Location: Connected Stitches Yarn & Fiber Shop (10 W Main St Dryden, NY 13053)

Teacher: Alyssa Welty

Alyssa is a developing fiber artist who is enamored by hand crafts, sustainable making and building community through art.
