What if the humble slip stitch could do far more than you ever imagined?

Discover the surprising versatility of slip-stitch knitting in this inspiring exploration of color, texture, structure, lace, and fabric design. You’ll see how a simple slipped stitch can transform the character of a knitted fabric—creating dimension, rhythm, elongated stitches, unexpected textures, and striking visual effects.

See how slipped stitches can interact with lace, cables, texture, color, and openwork to create fabrics that look far more complex than they are to knit.

Whether you already love slip stitches or have barely explored them, this class will change the way you look at your knitting.
