Workshop: Mosaic Knitting Here’s a great way to do two-color knitting, without stranding or tangling! Designers are rediscovering this delightful technique and with this class under your belt, you’ll be able to tackle these fun patterns. The class, led by Reah Janise Kauffman, will teach how to read a mosaic pattern and work several different patterns. If you can knit and purl, you can do mosaic knitting! When: Saturday, January 14: 10:30 am-12:30 pm Cost: $30 per person, payable to Reah Janise. Class is limited to six people. Sign up to hold your place!
