Shadow knitting is a technique where a figure appears through the alternation of two contrasting colours and the right placement of knit and purl stitches. The design only becomes visible from a slanted angle. The technique isn’t difficult, but it does take concentration.
The series runs over two Friday afternoons in the TextielLab. Participants should already be able to knit and purl. Yarn and knitting needles are provided.
