THE JOY OF FINISHING


Instructor - Chris Bylsma

Ok, it may not be a sexy subject, but knowing the secrets of finishing can be pretty exciting and downright empowering.  Learn the joy of sleek shoulder lines, invisible seams, picking up the perfect number of stitches without counting, beautiful buttonholes, "shortening"

sleeves, taming sleeveless armholes and other touches.  If it's worth knitting, it's worth finishing beautifully - and easily.
