The Secret to Mastering the Japanese Short Row Technique with Zanete - Saturday 30th November 2024 - 10am to 1pm

£75.00
If you have been looking for a way to take your knitting skills to the next level, this workshop is perfect for you! It will give you a comprehensive understanding of the Japanese short-row technique, its benefits, and how it can be applied in different situations.

Mastering this method could open up new possibilities for creating more complex garments, so come along and join this interactive and hands-on session!

We will cover the background of short rows and the Japanese short-row technique. This will include an in-depth look at the fundamentals of the method, which can get quite technical. To put the theory into practice, we will make a swatch and test out five different situations.

By the end of this workshop, you will learn how to use Japanese short rows as a substitute for any other short row method and you will be able to determine what steps to take when you encounter a short row turn in any given scenario.
