This hands-on workshop tackles the skills that live between \"I bound off\" and \"finished object\"\"— the part most knitters learn by accident or not at all. We'll cover multiple bind-off methods and when to use each, how to wet block and steam block different fiber types, seaming techniques, and best practices for weaving in ends so they actually stay. You'll work on samples and swatches to practice each technique and leave with a go-to finishing toolkit for any future project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTopics:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBind off methods (stretchy, three needle bind off, italian bind off) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBlocking (wet blocking, steam blocking)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSeaming (mattress stitch for side seams, invisible joining)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWeaving in ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFinishing order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePre-Requisites:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCast on (any method)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKnit \u0026amp; Purl Stitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBasic Bind Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e*Completion of at least one knitted project recommended\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMaterials Needed for Class:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e2-3 pre-knit swatches in worsted weight, at least 4\"\" x 4\"\" each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUS 7 or 8 knitting needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTapestry needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eScissors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e(optional: rust-proof blocking pins, wool wash, blocking mats)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHomework:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKnit 2-3 swatches of at least 4\"\" x 4\"\" in worsted weight yarn - bring them unblocked [more details sent to email a week before class]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLook up the fiber content of your yarn - this determines your blocking method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBring any finished or in-progress piece you've been unsure how to complete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinimum Number of Students: 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf class minimum is not met by 48 hours before class start, class will be cancelled.
