Class Details:
By the end of this class, Maggie hopes the piece you make will NOT go toward a scarf but toward one of the other design options she shows: a table-runner, a pillow, a purse, a shawl, a wall hanging, etc. Maggie will have you thinking “outside the box” by making holes in your work, cutting yarn in the middle of a row just to retie with knots at the front, joining her renown tubes, and working a ladder stitch. She will show some finishing techniques for the project and give advice on what she learned from being a fashion designer doing ready-to-wear for 25 years, selling to Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and others. Samples of these stitches will be shown on garments to stretch your creative thinking. Technique Requirements: Knit/purl; cast on/bind off
