Class 1: Finishing Touches – Edging with a difference.
With hand knit garments, finishing touches make all the difference. Do you feel that the final touches of your finished pieces are letting you down? Do you want to learn new and different techniques? Move beyond basic ribbed edging and discover a whole new world!
Create professional and beautiful pieces by learning how to create I-cord edging and buttonholes, how to pick up stitches to create a smooth even edge, and how to easily transform your work with a knitted hem.
