Short Cuts: Adding a Steek to your Colourwork Projects

Join us for a STEEKING demo on Wednesday, July 23. If you enjoy stranded colourwork but don’t like working floats on the purl side, this demo is perfect for you! We're knitting the Fir Cafetiere by Martin Storey with a clever twist.

We've added a 5-stitch steek and worked this pattern in the round. In this session, we'll explain how to insert and stabilize the steek, safely cut it, pick up stitches along the edges, and share tips for finishing your project beautifully.

As part of Rowan's Summer School, we've taken our "Crochet for Knitters" class and made it into a full-fledged workshop. We'll meet up with you twice a week from August 4 - 27 and teach you valuable skills! This is not about learning to crochet. It's more about using a crochet hook to: cast on, bind off, seam, embellish, strengthen and improve your knitting.

To provide you with lots of practice, we designed a project that will inspire you to swatch, experiment and play. You can create a cosy pillow while you learn how a crochet hook can be a knitter's favourite tool. In addition, we'll share examples of how a little crochet can improve the look and fit of your knitted garments.
