*European finishing techniques*

This is an information packed class that runs at least 3 hours. Julie will hand out notes with room for students to make their own notes, have swatches so everyone can try the techniques discussed. Class covers basics like selvage sts, inc, dec and also special techniques like provisional CO with a second circ needle, using a YO or safety-pin for short row shaping, binding off neatly in the middle of a row (for a neckline), bias bind off for multiple BO, blocking, seaming and neatly picking up stitches along a button-band or neckline. If time allows Julie can cover a bit of designing, as well.
