What is Pleasurable Finishing? with Deborah Newton
Come hear Deborah talk about her love of finishing, and learn to make this part of your sweater-making a delight and an inspiration. With a visual presentation and some hands-on work, Deborah will catalog the high points of her process that takes knitted pieces and transforms them—with ease and pleasure—into a detailed sweater that expresses the knitter's own choices. Some of the finishing techniques will be explored in class.
