Advanced Knitting Skills Workshop: All About Steeks — October 2025

Advanced Knitting Skills Workshop: All About Steeks Teacher: Mary Brandau Cost: $50 When: Tuesday, October 28, 6:00–8:00pm Description: Eek! It’s a steek! Steeking is a technique that allows you to create a flat piece of stranded colorwork by working it in the round and then cutting it up the center. While the idea of taking scissors to your knitting may seem terrifying at first, this traditional method is actually very secure, and so much more efficient than working back and forth. For this hands-on workshop, you’ll make a colorwork swatch ahead of time, and master knitter Mary Brandau will guide you as you cut into it and practice different methods of reinforcing the opening. If you’ve always wanted to knit a stranded colorwork cardigan, or if you’re simply curious about this time-honored technique, this is the class for you! Prerequisites: Participants should be able to make a stranded colorwork swatch in the round, using a chart. Homework: You will need to make a stranded colorwork
