Shaping with Short Rows (Online Workshop)
How much do you know about short rows?
A large number of modern knitting patterns use this fascinating technique to shape shawls, sweaters (back neck, rounded fronts, longer back or sides, angled cuffs, shaped collars, and more). Making different geometric shapes like wedges, circles, and waves, requires knowing how to do short rows. The more you learn about them, the more you see where to apply them. Not only are short rows used for shaping, they can be involved in creating fun three-dimensional textures in one or more colors as well as artistic color work that looks like a free-hand painting.
Interested in this technique? Join Faina and learn four easy ways of working short rows, how to replace a method used in the pattern with your favorite one, how to calculate the sequence of short rows, and see how they are applied for making various shapes.
The event will be hosted via Zoom. Learn about accessing our online events HERE.
Handouts (and the pattern) will be sent the day before the event.
This is LIVE class. It will not be recorded, so please be sure you are able to attend :)
The times for this class are Pacific Daylight time.
