Homework
This month’s homework: Stranded colorwork, especially the free cup cozy pattern made by Emily, Beans or Leaves.
Next month’s homework: Double crochet! Flat double crochet for beginners, double crochet in the round for people who want to try it out.
Can you guys recommend a tutorial/video on knitting your stranded colorwork with the floats on the outside? I am usually a tight knitter and my last project I really focused on keeping the floats loose, however they weren’t where they should be for a hat. I would love to try this technique and see if it helps!
