Colorwork with Portuguese Knitting with Madison Goodsell (Sat PM)
Want to take your Portuguese knitting to the next level? In this course, we will learn how to utilize Portuguese knitting for colorwork! Learn how to do two-stranded colorwork using the inside-out and right-side facing methods. In Portuguese knitting, it is traditionally easier to purl than knit. This means many Portuguese knitters knit their projects inside out to avoid the knit stitch. This means having to convert countless patterns to make the inside-out method work. We will be making The Nordic Hat by Anne Mizoguchi and learning how to construct a hat right-side facing using Portuguese Knitting. Instruction on how to knit inside-out will also be provided in this class.
 
Level:  Intermediate. Knowing how to knit and purl using the Portuguese method is required.
Ages:  12+
Materials Fee: $10 Material fee is part of class cost and includes a booklet of how to do colorwork in Portuguese knitting.
Please Bring:  Two Portuguese knitting pins, or bulb pins (optional) and your hat project.
To Do BEFORE Class:  Cast on the hat project and complete the ribbing section. We will be knitting The Nordic Hat by Anne Mizoguchi. This is a free pattern on Ravelry https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/nordic-hat-7

  • Instructor Bio

    Hi, I am Madison,
    I first started crocheting when I was five years old and knitting at the age of 8. I remember crocheting clothes for all my Barbies and knitting during recess in elementary. When my great-aunt, Auntie Joyce, taught me to knit, I was immediately hooked on everything I could make and how much I enjoyed knitting. From then on, I was constantly knitting and haven’t stopped. My favorite things to knit (right now, anyway) are sweaters, cowls, and shawls. One of my favorite things about knitting is creating unique clothing and being able to wear them at work. I love to teach others how to knit  because I believe it is so powerful to pass on my knowledge and love for knitting. It is my great pleasure to pass on the knitting obsession I got from my aunt. Still, today, whenever I see Auntie Joyce, we pull out our knitting bags and compare projects while the rest of the family rolls their eyes because they know we can talk about knitting for hours.
    My other hobbies include dying and spinning yarn. I love to say that I can make a sweater from the beginning of unprocessed fiber. I also love to cross-stitch, tie flies, work on cars, and garden. I am outside when not knitting (although this is not a fair statement because I love to knit outdoors in my flower garden). I love fly fishing and hiking with my border collie, Fury. I always joke that my two favorite hobbies, knitting and flyfishing, involve constantly untangling knots. 

    I live in Ogden, Utah, and work as a mental health therapist, seeing individuals, couples, and families. Mental health is a huge part of my life, and knitting is a big part of maintaining my own mental health.
