How to Finish Your Knits
You finally made it to the last row on that knitting project. Now what?
It can be intimidating, after doing all that work, to move on to the next steps. Of course you want a beautiful garment that will last a lifetime, but how to get there?
The Finishing Class is great for both the beginner looking to learn how to complete a project and for the experienced knitter who wants a few more tools in their tool box.
This class covers a couple basics and answers some questions about what happens after you bind off. We'll practice binding/casting off, talk about blocking (note that we will be discussing and demonstrating blocking, but not doing it as a class), and practicing several tried-and-true methods for weaving in those ends neatly and invisibly.
There is some homework for this class! Bring in a swatch that is at least 5 inches square, using a solid-colored yarn that's worsted weight or larger. Make sure the end for your cast-on edge is 10 inches long, and do not bind off. Do at least 8 or so rows in garter stitch, and the rest in stockinette stitch.
