Never Fear Steeks!
|
| |
Instructor:
Deb Glass
|
|
| |
Fee: $55.00
|
|
| |
This class is designed to take the fear out of cutting your knitted garment. Steeks are extra stitches added to a garment at the neck opening, arm holes and cardigan fronts, so the knitter can continue to knit in the round. Four sample swatches will be knitted prior to start of class, these samples represent a 1) cardigan front & back 2) neck opening 3) arm hole 4) a 2-color swatch knitted in the round. We will be discussing different methods of knitting and securing the steeks (Fair Isle vs. Norwegian). Then we will practice three different approaches to securing the steeks before we cut the swatches. The three approaches to securing the steeks are 1) chain crochet stitch 2) single crochet stitch 3) machine sewn steek. After cutting the steeks, we will learn how to attach the cardigan front at the shoulders with a three needle bind off to the back sample swatch, knit up stitches, knit button holes and fasten the steek in place. The class will discuss advantages of steeks, yarns, sweater design, planning and converting a sweater pattern to include steeks, and knitting gauge swatches in the round. After taking this class, you will never fear using steeks, scissors and cutting in the same sentence and no more sewing seams! Class limited to 8.

Seaming As You Go
|
| |
Instructor:
Heather Zoppetti
|
|
| |
Fee: $55.00
|
|
| |
After spending many hours knitting pieces, the last thing you want to do is
spend additional time sewing them together. An alternative is seaming as you
go. (Original article published in Interweave Knits Fall 2010 in conjunction
with the Tamarix Quilt pattern). This technique can be applied to seam
together sweaters, to add a border to a shawl or to create a fancy cuff on a
sleeve. Avoiding seams results in a more fluid, less bulky fabric – with
half the work! Students will learn how to join their knitting together as
they knit pieces that will form a mitered square pillow or other small
project. Intermediate Level Knitters. Class limited to 6
