Fearless Finishing* - IP - Fall 2025

*This class fulfills the Fearless Finishing Requirement for WEKP.

If you have knitted a sweater or two but still don’t feel in control of the finishing process, this class is for you. Working on a baby sweater and swatches, you will conquer basic invisible seaming and (if time allows) move on to seaming ribbing and garter stitch. You will learn to pick up stitches flawlessly, master the sloped bind-off, and use the 3-needle bind-off. You will learn to make and space buttonholes and to calculate short rows for a cute shawl collar. Come join us and get rid of those finishing phobias!

You will receive the Zoom link 1-2 business days before the virtual class.
