Interested in steeking but nervous about taking scissors to your knitting? Stranded colourwork expert Tanis Gray will guide you through four secure and stress-free steeking methods using swatches, so you’ll feel confident before tackling that sweater pattern you’ve been eyeing! You’ll learn the crochet method (no crochet experience needed), the backstitch method, the needle felting method, and the sewing machine method. Some experience with colourwork and knitting in the round is recommended.
