Description Cutting your knitting may seem the stuff of nightmares, but when you're in a controlled environment and following a few simple steps, it's a tool that makes stranded knitting a dream. In this workshop you'll face your fears while learning the skills required to steek knitted fabric, and you'll explore the necessary steps to create a beautifully finished edge. Once you've learned a few ways to divide the fabric, you'll continue the adventure by learning how to install a zipper by hand. Supplies Worsted weight, solid color non-superwash wool (such as HiKoo® Simpliworsted) in the main color of your swatch, a second partial ball in a color that compliments/contrasts with the swatches worked, 12" (or longer) separating zipper, 12" x 12" piece of cotton fabric (for lining), sewing thread (in a color that matches zipper), sewing needle, and the usual knitting bag filled with treasures.
