Nothing’s better than no risk and all reward! Ann Weaver’s new workshop No Risk, All Reward Steeks! on June 25th is a great introduction to the world of steeking colorwork. Using old store bought or thrifted sweaters, you’ll master steeking without spending countless hours knitting ahead of time. But once through, you’ll have all the skills you need to complete your own handknit steeked sweater while having a super cute cardigan from class.
