Short Row Savvy

Cost: $65/2hrs
Teacher: Kate Atherley
Dates: Tuesday, October 24th from 7 to 9pm (EDT)

“Wrap & Turn” is not a dance move, it’s a fabulous way to create shapes with your knitting. Short rows are used for sock heels, they’re common in shawls to create, and to create ruffles. In this class we’ll discuss three or four common methods of working short rows (and hiding them, just as important!). We’ll discuss their use in bust shaping to custom fit a garment and we’ll share a no-fail recipe for a tidy and elegant short row sock heel. Last but not least, we’ll show you how to convert a shaped garment shoulder to use short rows for easier seaming.
