Dear Knitters, I look forward to meeting you at the workshop(s) in Biella.

Please bring with you a light-colored stocking-stitch swatch (with or garter stitch along the lower edge, to prevent curling) on which you can work techniques along with me.

For the EPS Updated class, the swatch can be either flat or circular. For the Two-color Knitting class, please have a circular stocking-stitch swatch established and bring a ball of an additional color.
