Class Details:
This is where all your fear of seaming fades away. This class covers stitch anatomy, decorative seams that are inspired by surgery sutures, and includes samples that will blow your mind! We will also go over in detail everything about traditional seaming, perfect shoulder seams, mattress stitch, perfecting the dreaded easing of fabrics together. In my “no knitter left behind” seaming class, you will leave with a new feeling of encouragement that you too can finish your knits with perfect seams. See what all the buzz is about! Technique Requirements: Knit/purl; cast on/bind off
Homework:
Please prepare 4 stockinette swatches with no border and 4 stockinette swatches with at least a 4–5 stitch garter border on the left and right sides. All swatches should be at least 4"x4"/10x10cm. See Supplies for info on yarn.
Supplies for Class:
Materials you should use for the swatches: worsted-weight or slightly heavier yarn with corresponding needle sizes. Please, no textured, novelty, or difficult-to-use yarn. Please also bring to class a darning needle and enough contrasting yarn to seam your swatches together. Blocking your swatches is fine, but not necessary.
