Knitting Daily TV, Episode 512 – It’s in the Details (Download)

Description

Captivating knitwear and crochet often pay special attention to details–those unique touches that give a project a professional finish and a perfect fit. On this episode of Knitting Daily TV we’ll explore how details can make a garment as enjoyable to wear as it is to make. 

Getting Started
Eunny demonstrates a variety of short row knitting techniques. Short rows make curves or soft angles where you want them in your knitting, and is a great technique for customizing a pattern to your unique size and shape. 

Spotlight
Visit with Beth Gantz at The National NeedleArts (TNNA) trade show. She takes a look at the latest trends in needlework, for young and old. 

Crochet Corner
On this episode’s Crochet Corner, Kristin demonstrates how to interpret a stitch pattern and translate it into a scarf, shawl, or other customized crochet project. 

How-To
