Then you will learn to cover the cut edges of the steek with a button band and how to finish the button band with an I-cord so the steek is beautiful inside and out.  Steeking is an awesome trick to enable colorwork cardigans, vests, blankets, and more to be knit in the round (the easiest method) and then cut and finished to perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOMEWORK:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the class you will need to knit the Selbu Thermos Cozy and two cup cozies so we can get right to work with a hands-on steeking experience. The more projects you come prepared to cut, the more steeking practice you will get. All steeking will be done in class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may knit either the thermos cozy or a shorter Selbu cup cozy—whichever you can finish in time for class. After we finish the Selbu cozy, you will learn 2 additional ways to finish and conceal a steek for a horizontal or vertical button band. We will also cover a whole lot about sweater construction, fit, and finishing. We will learn many ways to incorporate steeks into your knitting and learn when each method is appropriate to use.\u003cbr\u003eEach knitter will complete at least one steek, but you will learn the most if you come prepared to work on three different steeks. Patterns are included for the Selbu Thermos Cozy and 2 cup cozies. Knit all three, and you’ll have knit yourself a happy Nordic picnic set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePLEASE NOTE:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull pattern details for the Selbu Thermos Cozy and 2 Nordic cup cozies, and the homework instructions will follow per email after signing up for the class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTHIS WORKSHOP WILL TEACH YOU:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting up a steek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK1K2tog bind off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecuring the steek (crochet, machine sewing, and sewing by hand)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting the steek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePicking up stiches on the front and the back of the button band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking a vertical button band and stee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eworking a horizontal button band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eworking a I-cord bind off with buttonholes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking horizontal buttonholes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eworking vertical buttonholes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking a single row  buttonhole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHiding the steek (3 ways)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSewing on buttons and finishing beautifully\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eABOUT THE TEACHER:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKristin Drysdale, the founder of Scandiwork, is a prolific knitwear designer and educator, teaching workshops across the world.
