Projects we love which use short rows:
(follow the link to view pattern information on Ravelry).

  • Deb's short row modification to the neck of her Gr8 Gingham Raglan by Jessie Maed Designs raises the neckline at the back and lowers it at the front. Check out her blog about how she did it.
  • The iconic Exploration Station Shawl by Stephen West uses short rows to create wedge shapes within the shawl that translate into the gorgeous semi-circular overall shape. This beautiful version uses Skein Sisters Fabulous Sock yarn in colours Antarctica, Waterglass, Titanic & Pout.
  • Short row shawl shaping in Dotted Rays Shawl by Stephen West.

 

  • Tash is wearing Wool and Honey by Andrea Mowry.

Your teacher: Tash Childers

Tash has been knitting ever since her grandmother taught her at 8 years of age. She was always a fearless knitter, tackling an all-over intarsia vest for her mum as her first garment when she was 12. While taking time off from Mathematics teaching to raise her children, she taught many of her friends to knit and co-ordinated a mothers’ group for knitters. She is passionate about sharing the joy of knitting with others and helping knitters to improve their skills, so they have the confidence to tackle any project.
