It's Doodle time! You have hopefully noticed that the shop is now carrying Doodle Decks from the Pacific Knit Co. What is doodling? Basically, it's fair isle knitting, although some motifs may have more than two colors in a round. Using your doodle decks, you can choose the motifs that are most appealing to you. A sample cowl (using motifs from the Autumn Doodle Deck) is now in the shop to give you an idea of the finished product. Please note, you do not have to knit the exact same design for your cowl. You can pick and choose which motifs you want. For that matter, if you want to relinquish control, choose your cards at random for a fun-themed cowl.
Materials: Model used Alpaca Yarn Co. Classic Alpaca (DK weight) and US 4 and 5, 16" circular needles. Per the creator of the doodle concept, you must purchase your own doodle deck to take the class. Feel free to use thicker or thinner yarn and appropriate sized needles to make a bigger or smaller cowl.
Homework: Prior to class, please cast on 168 sts (for DK weight) with the smaller needles. Join in the round, being careful not to twist, and work in 1x1 ribbing for 1.5". You will then be all set to begin doodling.
