Newish Knitter KAL - Duotone Cowl

Location: The comfort of your own location - this is a zoom class
Instructor: Liz Daly
Description:
Our Newish Knitter KAL is for knitters who have finished Knit101 and Knit 102 and are wondering what to knit next. All of these patterns are great places to practice your stitches and learn how to read patterns. This KAL is also for more experienced knitters who want to socialize with others while knitting a project where you can knit and chat at the same time.
I really enjoyed knitting this duotone cowl. Once you get this cowl started it is the perfect travel and social knitting project. We will go over starting a project with a provisional cast on, carrying yarn up and grafting the project together. Grafting is just a fancy word for seaming. This project is very meditative and repetitive but I will have many tips along the way.
There is no charge for this virtual get-together, however, we ask that you purchase yarn from the store for this project. When you purchase your yarn write in the comments section that you would like to be added to the KAL! Don't worry if you can't make all of the sessions. We'd love to have you when you can make it.
Supplies:
- Please download Duotone Cowl from Ravelry
- US 7 or US 8 16" circular needles. You might need to adjust the size of your needle based on how you personally knit.
- We are recommending 2 total skeins, 1 skein each of 2 contrasting colors. Using solid colors will make the stripes really sharp. Liz used Deseos DK.
- Basic knitting supplies
Homework: Have your yarn and needles ready.
