Do you knit garments but not finish them? Would you like to learn how to sew beautifully matched and straight seams? If so, you are not the only one - sewing seams is the most requested technique from knitters attending my Knitwear Finishing Techniques workshops.
The workshop will cover:
• Knitting a tension square and measuring stitch and row tension.
• Making and using different selvedges.
• Shaping a garment using mirrored increases and decreases.
• Blocking your knitting.
• Sewing seams on knitwear using mattress stitch.
• Shaping shoulders.
• Joining shoulders using the three-needle cast-off.
• Picking up stitches and knitting button bands & buttonholes.
“The techniques we learned will really help make garments look better. All the knitters attending were very nervous that we weren’t advanced enough for the course, but it was at just the right level for us all.”
