Unlock one of knitting’s most magical (and slightly terrifying!) techniques in this hands‑on Steeking Workshop with knitwear designer Kath Andrews. Steeking allows you to knit seamlessly in the round and then cut your knitting open to create armholes, cardigan fronts, and more — all without your fabric falling apart.In this workshop, you’ll learn how to plan a steek, create the extra stitches needed, reinforce your work securely, and finally make the cut with confidence. It’s a transformative skill that opens the door to beautifully smooth colourwork garments and advanced construction techniques.
