Finishing Techniques in Knitting

Due to the overwhelming response for the Finishing Techniques in Knitting session, presented by Dolores Anderson, this workshop will be repeated on Monday 20th October, from 10am 'til 3pm. This workshop will give participants the skills to properly finish garments and other knitted items. You will cover such aspects as alternate methods of casting on and casting off and their appropriate usages; picking up around necklines and a variety of seaming techniques. These skills will enhance the professional look of the garments you make for yourself and for sale. All participants are bound to discover techniques they will be able to use to enhance their work. Dolores is a very experienced knitter and her techniques will be able to be applied to a wide variety of articles.
