Shawl Skills: Easy Starts and Finishes
Shawls are very popular knitting projects, and there are patterns for all skill levels and tastes. This session focuses on key techniques to make shawl projects even more fun: we’ll demystify the garter tab start, share techniques for stretchy bind offs and learn about no-fuss solutions for finishing, blocking (no special equipment needed!) and weaving in ends.
This 2 hour workshop takes place on Saturday, November 4 at 11:30 am PDT, 12:30 pm MDT, 1:30 pm CDT, 2:30 pm EDT, 3:30 pm ADT, and 4:00 in NL.
Skill level: advanced beginner
Please bring: small balls/leftovers of light-colored medium-weight yarn and 4-5mm/US #6-8 needles to work through some small swatches.
