Stone Knits | Magicial Mycelium Colourwork Socks Workshop. An Introduction to Colourwork Sock Knitting

Knitting socks using the colourwork technique with small needles can be difficult at first, but it is very rewarding and produces beautiful results. They are great fun and quick to knit. The goal of this workshop is to give you the confidence to tackle any sock pattern using colourwork. You will work the colourwork section of the popular sock pattern ‘Magical Mycelium’.

You will learn various techniques and Charlotte will show you the best colour combinations to knit in colourwork. She will review the techniques with the English and continental style. She will explain how to knit 3 colours in one row, learn more about gauge and tension to get your socks to fit well, long floats management, fixing mistakes and Charlotte’s own personal tips and tricks for knitting her own colourwork sock designs (many which she will bring with her. I will also be demonstrating how to duplicate stitch details too and how to weave in ends with colourwork.
