DESCRIPTION
Short rows can be used to shape our knitting, in everything from sweaters to socks to headbands. In this class, we will discuss what short rows are, why we use them, and then, practice two methods -- wrap & turns, and German Short Rows. We will use small swatches to mimic a top down sweater to practice working both types of short rows.
