Colorwork Steeking Coasters Workshop

Learn how to steek your knits and make a set of colorwork coasters! Join us for fun evening of learning how to steek your knits! The Sheepy Steeky Coasters are a great introduction to this technique! They feature steeks that are stabilized by crocheted stitches, and then cut. It may seem counter-intuitive to knit in the round just to cut, but stranded colorwork is a lot easier to knit in the round rather than flat, because the right side of the work is always facing you, and there’s no purling back. This pattern makes two coasters at the same time. (Why? It all fits on a 16” circular needle. You don’t have to fiddle with dpns or magic loop. And you have two chances to cut your steeks!) The pattern is included in the price. Students will receive a copy of the pattern and material list once they sign up for the class. Students will have to complete homework of knitting the colorwork fabric before the class!
