Finishing Workshop with Nancy Barke

Saturday, October 2, 10am-1pm.

Location: Adrienne Bracker's home: 310 Magnolia Drive, Canton, GA  30114 

Are you tired of ruining your projects with messy seams and sloppy finishing?   Then, this is your class.  Learn mattress stitch techniques for side seams, shoulder seams, sleeve-to-body joining, and garter stitch.  Plus, conquer your fear of the Kitchner Stitch, discuss blocking techniques and more.  Make your next project a winner.  Sign-up at the July Meeting or RSVP with Adrienne Bracker at abracker@mindspring.com or (770) 846-0782. 

The class cost is $25, and you’ll need to knit the following homework before the class: 

4 each  4” square stockinette swatches, and

2 each  4” square garter stitch swatches. 

Make them in a light-colored worsted weight yarn, and bring enough of that yarn to class for seaming practice.

Suppies: 1 Tapestry needle, and 1 pair of scissors
