Drab to Fab with the Grocery Girls!

A creative workshop to take your knits to the next level!

In this class we will show you multiple ways to add personality, pizazz, and glamour to your knits including:

Adding beads and sparkle for elegance

• Duplicate stitch and ribbons for pops of color and texture
• Design and apply unique motifs
• Simple embroidery to enhance your projects with playful and artistic embellishments

CLASS MATERIALS TO BRING:

• small amounts (5 - 6 colors, 10-15g each) of colorful worsted weight yarns 
• small amounts of novelty yarn, mohair or Suri alpaca (think sparkly, or fuzzy) that you may wish to use to add to your swatch (optional)
• tapestry needle, sharp scissors, pencil and eraser
