2pm- 5pm Short rows – when and why – $ 85 

In this class you will learn several different techniques for short rows to add shaping to your knitting and where to use them. You will learn how to add shaping to a neckline worked in the round, how to shape shoulders, bust darts and hem lines. Examples of my designs that use this method of shaping will be available to view in class.

Level: Intermediate (knitting small circumferences in the round, basic increases (M1L, M1R))

Materials: notepad and pen, knitting yarn and matching circular needles (dk or worsted weight will work best), safety pins or locking stitch markers, darning needle, crochet hook (same size as knitting needles) and some waste yarn.

Homework: 1.Neckband (starting point for short row use in neck shaping): cast on 40 sts and join to knit in theround. Work 4 rounds in 1×1 Rib (k1, p1), then knit 1 round. Stitches should be left live on the needle. 2.Bust darts and hem lines: cast on 28 sts, work 6 rows in Garter stitch, then 4 rows in Stockinettestitch. Stitches should be left live on the needle.
