Class Details:
Why spend all that time knitting a garment, only to stop short of making it look great? Blocking is an essential part of finishing your garment off perfectly. Blocking evens out your stitches, sets your size, and in some cases can even mask your mistakes. In this workshop we will go over the three main methods of blocking (wet, steam, and spray) and learn how to use all the tools such as blocking boards and wires. We’ll also discuss blocking unusual shapes, special stitch patterns, as well as learn a bit about different fiber properties. Feel free to bring in your questions! Come on, don’t stop short of the perfect finish!
