Description:
How you cast on and bind off should enhance the functionality of what you are making.  Do you want the cast on to be stretchy (hat, neckline, cuff)?  Do you want the cast on or bind off to stabilize the stretch (shoulder seam)?  Do you want them to match (scarf)?  Do you want the selvages (edges of your knitting) to look the same?

​In this class, we will explore a variety of cast on, bind off, and selvage options, when to use them, and how to make them.  You will be knitting samples which you can refer to when designing your next project.
