Episode 17 - Short Rows

Bea & Linda take the fear out of short rows! Short Rows Definition: Short rows create vertical shaping in knitting. A short row is one in which you don't work to the end of the row; you stop and turn and work in the other direction. However, if you simply turn and start knitting in the other direction, your work will have a hole. The short row techniques are all methods to close that gap that is created by the turn. Short Row Techniques: Wrapless Wrap & Turn German Yarnover Japanese Sunday Shadow (aka Mother/Daughter or Twin) Catch Raves: Bea - On The Spice Market by Melanie Berg Linda - Virtual Vogue Knitting Live Misbehaves: Bea - Kodikas Shawl by Caitlin Hunter Andrea Rangel 7 Tips for Colorwork Saves: Bea - Purl Soho Videos Linda - Make your own Short Row Swatch testing out all the methods.
