Cathy sent us a photo of her finished project from the Finishing Class held in July. You prepare the knit pieces using instructions provided, so that in the class you learn three needle bind off (shoulder finishing), attaching rows to stitches (box sleeves), the mattress stitch (sides and raglan sleeves), picking up stitches (button band, neck) are used to finish this tiny sweater (it fits a small teddy bear or a Barbie and are the exact same methods used to finish a baby, child or adult sweater.
Everyone leaves feeling they have learned something that will help them in knitting their future projects. It is a class that will remove any fear about leaping beyond scarves, or just give you more confidence in defeating UFOs!
There is so much enthusiasm that in September Kniterary will be having a Sweater Knit-along, every other Monday night. You will get help in choosing a pattern, selecting appropriate yarn, deciding how to knit the pieces so that finishing is easier, and then finishing. We should all be able to finish a cardigan from September to June.
