Our Guest Speaker for this evening was Meg Crowther who gave a very interesting talk and slideshow on 'Finishing Touches for Hand Knitting'.
Meg spoke about different stitch shapes, joining methods for seams, hems and edges, applied trims including i-cord , how different stitches affect the finished fabric, blocking and tensions; how mood and air temperature when handknitting can affect tension and that different colours of the same yarn can sometimes give different tension results.
