STEEKING- MUG COSY
Date : Saturday the 20th June 2015
Time: 2.00pm - 5.00pm
Where: fluph
Price: £35 which includes all materials
In this 3-hour class, we will explore how to safely cut your knitting so that you can turn a jumper into a cardigan, resize a garment up or down, add armholes and more. This traditional technique is intrinsic to Fair Isle, Scandinavian and other colourwork knitting traditions and is also useful when knitting cables or other patterns that are more easily worked in the round, for knitting with self-striping yarns and for those who prefer knit to purl…
We’ll look at the various types of steeks, as well as the yarn and stitch patterns commonly used when steeking. Participants will work and cut two different kinds of steeks on their swatches and will learn how to secure the steek once cut, add a knitted band and incorporate a steek into a garment. You will also receive a pattern that turns the swatches into a sweet mug cosy.
Level: Intermediate
Skills required: casting on and off, knit and purl, increasing and decreasing, reading a pattern: some experience knitting in colourwork or cables will be helpful but not essential
Materials: 2 completed swatches (instructions for these will be provided after you book your place)
