Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

I am so excited to announce that I have been working with Marjorie J. Mc Donald, a local knitwear designer,  to create KNITTING WITH COLOR! and a touch of texture. This video is geared toward both knitters who may not know exactly how to combine colors and textures, as well as to experienced knitters who may want to enhance their color/texture coordination skills.

So, without further ado, drum roll please…KNITTING WITH COLOR and a touch of texture. While the content of both of the videos below is the same, you can choose the video cover that most appeals to your fabulous senses!  By clicking on the photo of your preferred cover, you will be taken to an order page where you can purchase the video, as well as calculate shipping charges.

There will be an accompanying eBook soon to follow, along with a website where you will be able to order future videos and eBooks in this knitting with color/texture series. So, please check back soon.

We welcome your suggestions and feedback about colors and/or textures information about which you might be interested in learning. Please leave a comment below letting us know what will help you achieve maximum satisfaction in combining colors and textures into individual, one-of-a-kind projects.  Happy Knitting!
