Prepare for the perfect finishing before casting on the first stitch!
I will show you how to think ahead and make your finishing tasks a lot easier. Prepare for seaming and choose the best border stitches + find the best ways and places to weave-in the ends + how-to pick-up stitches.
Program:
– introduction to finishing techniques: plan ahead where to change yarns, how to choose border stitches and where to leave long enough yarn tails for seaming
– seaming techniques: vertical seams on garter and stockinette stitches (mattress stitch), horizontal seams and 3 needle bind-off, combined seams (set-in sleeves)
– picking up stitches: learn about stitch/rows ratio, pick-up stitches along a vertical edge, pick-up stitches along a round neckline
– weave-in the ends: weaving in the ends on ribbing and garter stitch; weaving in with sharp needle for thicker (or slippery) yarns
