With a focus on the Dutchess County Geese shawl, this class combines hands-on virtual learning partnered with lively teachings about the history of shawl knitting! Together, we will work through a section of the shawl’s triangle pattern and identify different tips and tricks to keeping in pattern and reading your work. We’ll go in depth through the Triangle One section, and learn how to recognize the shapes that are beginning to unfold on your needles, all while working with the beautiful shades of Six Dutchess Farm resident sheep!
