Block, Seam, and Succeed w/ Nancy Wynn - A Beyond the Basics Project Class

Have a shawl that's supposed to a triangle and looks more like a curly Q?

Have a hat that was meant for an adult but looks more fit for a toddler?

Think that Kitchener sounds more like an appliance than a technique?

This is the day for you! Nancy and the Steven have put together a workshop to answer these questions, share the tips, and take you through the techniques to finish your hand knits with style.

- Learn the basics of blocking various knits

- Get Nancy's tips and tricks for various garment and accessory types

- Bring an unfinished piece to start blocking

- Learn two of Steven's favorite seams to finish your knits!
