Entrelac, a marvelous and seemingly mysterious technique where knitted square builds upon knitted square to form a lovely on-the-bias patchwork effect. It produces a fabric with a woven appearance—tiers of tilting blocks appear to run over and under each other. But the fabric is actually worked all in one piece as a series of interconnecting rectangles. These interconnecting rectangles are worked one at a time, with lots of turning back and forth to work short right- and wrong-side rows. The rectangles, or blocks, are worked in tiers, building a vertical fabric. All the blocks of a single tier slant in one direction, then all the blocks of the following tier slant in the opposite direction. Class projects will include a scarf or wrap to learn flat Entrelac and a cowl or pair of socks to learn circular Entrelac. (If you choose the sock option, you need to already be familiar with sock knitting techniques) |

The Fleece Artist Thrum Kits forgo a little function for beauty.
