Let's Get Stitchy - Blocking with Susan Gehringer - 1/25
Have you finished your project but don't know how to make the piece look 'just right'? Join us as Susan Gehringer explains how to use blocking wires to put those final touches to your project on January 25th.
Blocking simple shapes with blocking wires.
Adventurous beginner and up: knitter should have completed at least 1 simple shape (rectangle, triangle) 2 hours
I love blocking! It is the finishing touch that makes a piece come together and using blocking wires can make the process easy and fun. In class, well demo how to wet block a simple rectangular or triangular shape (like a shawl or scarf) using blocking wires including how to run the wires through the piece, shaping and measuring, pinning, and drying. Then together well do a hands-on dry version of the process using participants work so everyone can get the feel of using the wires in class and knowledge of how to complete the process on their own at home.
Supplies are required prior to the start of class:
Simple shape (rectangle, triangle) at least 12 on at least one side, any gauge, any yarn weight: This can be a completed shawl or scarf or a test piece (see pre-work section)
Notions: blocking wires or a long thin knitting needle size 2mm
Pre-work must be completed prior to the start of class
Simple shape (rectangle, triangle) at least 12 on at least one side, any gauge, any yarn weight, knitted or crocheted
Optional: a finished or in-progress rectangular or triangular shawl. samples will be available for viewing during class
