Whether doing stranded knitting, intarsia, stripes, or modular patterns, knitters are constantly faced with color choices. The Albers Cowl, one of Ann Weaver's designs, is a perfect opportunity to experiment with color by using small amounts of yarn and simple techniques. The goal of this workshop is to expand your understanding of color - using examples from knitting, graphic design, popular culture, and fine art - and increase your confidence when selecting colors.

After a discussion of color theory, the workshop will focus on the log cabin technique used in the Albers Cowl. You'll learn how to measure gauge in garter stitch, neatly pick up stitches from both horizontal and vertical edges, and keep it all really square.
