In Store Class 0118A: Finishing Class - January 18, 2025
Learning to Finish Your Projects Like A Pro!
Date: Saturday January 18, 1:00-3:00pm
In this two hour class, Robbie will walk you through the finer details of knitting that an make or break or project. Learn how to create perfect seams, how to weave in ends when you have finished your project, and how to block your project to make it look it's best!
Sometimes your best bet for finishing technique actually happens on the needle, so you will also learn to work a three needle bind off as an alternative to seaming your FO; how to weave in your ends as you knit and techniques for eliminating ends all together - such as splicing the yarn.
Our Group classes are suitable for ages 16 and up. For children under the age of 16, please contact the shop to book a private lesson on one of our class days.
