I have volunteered to instruct a Finishing session for the Inner City Knitters Guild in July.
I have been knitting for over 30 years now. Lace Patterns, Cable Patterns, etc I can do most of it. Shhhh dont tell anyone but I never knew about blocking until I attended my first meeting at the Inner City Group and someone mentioned that they had blocked something. Had no idea what they were talking about, so home I went to hunt the internet. What was this new idea that they were talking about! Where did I buy it from! I was never taught nor told about blocking and to sew a jumper or cardigan together, that was easy just sew over the seam methond. Bulky as!
I have been researching for ages and have heaps of notes so now my aim over the next 6 weeks is to try all the things that I have reseached to see what I believe is the best for me. This will also allow me to have a total teaching package ready for July.
This week I will be doing Wet Blocking and Matress Seams. Will post my progress as I go along so stay tuned.
Tomorrow I am starting a learn to spin class at the Spinners and Weavers. Its a 6 week course which is great. Cant wait. I attended a 3 hour session about two months ago and enjoyed that. Will also update this on a weekly basis.
