Explore clever ways to shape knitted fabric with Stephen West.
In this class, we will play with short rows, different methods of increases and decreases, bind offs and cast ons to create unique shapes. Westknits designs are all about using simple techniques in different ways to achieve delightful architectural forms. You will get an inside look into Stephen's design process and walk away with your own shape exploration that may just inspire your next shawl or sweater project
