Class Description: In this class, you'll learn an intriguing technique for a two-color mitered square including a pain-free introduction to intarsia as you work a sample-sized version of the Reiteration Shawl. You'll also learn a bevy of other fun and interesting techniques along the way, including slip-stitch mosaic patterning, modular knitting, twisted slipped edges, the knitted cast-on, and picking up and purling.
By the end of class you'll be ready to confidently knit your own beautiful full-sized Reiteration shawl, but what's more, you'll have a number of new skills in your knitter's toolbox that you can apply to many knitted projects.
