Those pesky holes!
Join us for a two-hour masterclass on holes (and how to avoid and/or fix them). Kate will teach you strategies and share tips for making joins and pickups in your knitting both neat, smooth and hole-free. The examples in knitted garments and accessories are many: behind thumbs and between fingers on mitts and gloves, on the edges of sock heels, the underarms of seamless sweaters, the top of a hat or mitten and picking up stitches, especially around the curved part of a neckline. If time permits, Kate will also demonstrate how to neaten the edge of our knit-in-the-round projects, where you cast on or bind off for socks, mittens, hats, necklines, etc.
This session is all about making sure that those pesky areas are neat, smooth and not drafty. We’ll share some magic tricks that you can use on all sorts of projects, for stress-free and better joins.
Skill Level: adventurous beginner/intermediate
This two-hour class takes place on Thursday, May 18 at 2:00 pm PST, 3:00 pm MST, 4:00 pm CST, 5:00 pm EST, 6:00 pm AST.
