"Wrap & Turn" is not a dance move, it's a fabulous way to create shapes with your knitting. Short rows are used in some sock heels, in shawls to create curves and in garments for bust shaping. In this class we'll discuss five common methods of working short rows (and hiding them, just as important!): wrap and turn, yarnover, Japanese, German, and Shadow. We’ll also touch on how to change one method for another in a pattern.
skill level: intermediate suitable for knitters just starting with short rows
length: 2 hours
students will need: scrap light-colored medium-weight yarn and 4-5mm/US #6-8 needles, 8 removable stitch markers or small safety pins
