A 2-part Virtual Workshop with Christine Mursa, Knit Chats
Mondays, January 22nd and 29th 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The Pressed Flowers patterns by Amy Christoffers are admired by many knitters of all skill levels. These patterns use a colorwork style known as mosaic knitting, a technique that uses two different colors of yarn and slipped stitches to create beautiful designs. Mosaic knitting looks intimidating, but it is so easy to learn. It is an ideal starting point for beginners who would like to try colorwork. Seasoned stitchers will also marvel at the elegance and simplicity of mosaic knitting. In this class, we’ll work together to get started on the Pressed Flowers Cowl, a great way to get comfortable with mosaic knitting and reading charts. You’ll gain the confidence to move forward with other Pressed Flowers patterns.
