Comments: Stitches 1: Color Magic is an introduction to color work in knitting focusing on four basic types : stranding, slip stitch/mosaic, intarsia and needle weaving. Students complete a project in each discipline. This is my slip stitch project, and Owen loves it. Stitches 1: Color Magic is a core requirement of the Webs Expert Knitter Program. I took this class when Webs was in the beginning phases of developing the program. This project had some sort of restraints, most of which I ignored and few of which I remember. The only thing I stuck to was that the yarn had to be LP Worsted, and the project had to be slip stitch. Otherwise I just did my own thing, which is more obvious on the reverse side of the project. Stitches is where I discovered the dangerous nature of my gauge issue - I am a loose knitter, and on project one discovered exactly what that can do to your gauge.
