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.

Finishing can make or break your project: it's the difference between knits that look okay and knits that look truly polished. Take your knitting to the next level by learning a variety of finishing skills! The skills you learn in this workshop will improve your knits across the board. 
 
You will learn how to:

• Invisibly seam your knits, both along vertical and horizontal edges
• Expertly weave in ends in different stitch textures
• Pick up stitches along both vertical and horizontal edges (for collars, button bands, sock gussets, etc)
• Set up a provisional cast 
• Create a crochet reinforcement and steek your knitting 
• And more, time permitting!
   

Please knit 4 squares in the following fashion: Using light-colored, smooth worsted-weight yarn (example: Berroco Ultra Wool or Cascade 220) and US8 needles, cast on 25 stitches. Knit in stockinette stitch until you have a square. Bind off in pattern.

If you’ve never worked with a crochet hook before, please spend 10 to 15 minutes practicing how to do a simple crochet chain. Please don't skip this, it makes all the difference!
