My class on Sunday with Margaret Radcliffe, author of my newest favorite book: The Essential Guide to Color Knitting Techniques was another great class. Funny thing is that I bought this book and wrote about it in my top 6 favorites of 2009 - not realizing that I had signed up to take a class from her! I guess I need to start paying attention to the instructors and book authors! I didn't know much about Helix knitting and it appears that most people don't - other than it's a jogless technique. It was beyond jogless...it was thinking outside the box in working with color. As soon as I finish this deadline of mine, I plan on diving into a helix hat using my favorite all time bulky yarn - Mirasol Sulka which happens to be the yarn used in my class projects above. I also plan on doing up some fingerless gloves the "helix" way, using up 4 partial skeins as a great way to reduce my stash.
