Steeking in Style virtual workshop

Tackle the scary steek and open a whole new world of possibilities with your knitting! Steeking allows you to cut open knitwear knit in the round to make openings for cardigans, armholes and more. This makes knitting a colourwork cardigan or sweater much easier to knit in the round than flat. Together we will explore two different styles of steek edges from the fun of a knotted fringe steek great for a shawl and the all round great reinforcement method with crochet perfect for the Saar vest and cardigans.
