This is a two-part class. Both sections of the class will automatically be placed in your cart when you select one of the sessions.

Short rows are an amazing addition to your knitting toolbox. They can change the shape of a garment, make wedges, even turn your knitting into a three-dimensional object. But there’s more than one way to work that magic. In this workshop we will explore five short-row methods: The wrap and turn, yarnover, Japanese, German, and twin stitch. We’ll discuss why you might use one method over another. We’ll explore how to make this decision not only based on your pattern, but what type of knitter you are. As with all of my classes, you’ll walk away not memorizing, but seeing, because you understand the why! In other words, we’ll explore the long and short of it!
