Snip and Zip: Steeks and Zippers with Franklin Habit
This empowering class is designed to guide timid and/or inexperienced knitters through two operations: the cutting of steeks (slashed openings in knit fabric) and the installation of zippers. These techniques are famous for causing anxiety in the uninitiated. Note: Fluency in the basics of knitting, including knitting-in-the-round and stranded 2-color work (Fair Isle Knitting) is a pre-requisite. Supplies
__The completed homework assignment. __One ball (partial is fine) of wool yarn in a weight equal to, or slightly lighter than, the yarns used to knit the homework; it should be of a color that contrasts well with the homework yarns. __One crochet hook, equal to or slightly smaller in diameter than the knitting needles used to knit the homework. __One pair of sharp scissors. __Notebook and pen or pencil for taking notes.
