Mastering Short Rows Saturday, October 27th, 2-4pm
Short rows are a wonderful shaping tool but can be really frustrating if the end product has gaps, twisted stitches, or funny bits of crossing yarn. In this 2 hour class you will learn everything you need to work flawless short rows. We will cover the traditional “wrap and turn” method as well as German short rows, an alternative method using yarn overs that keeps the extra yarn on the needle making it more visible and easier to work correctly, resulting in perfect short rows.
