Workshop homework

Beautiful Edges: Cast Ons & Bind Offs

Four quick swatches, so workshop time goes to trying new bind offs. Please complete before the workshop.

Homework

Make 4 swatches. For each one, with light-colored worsted-weight yarn and appropriate needles, use your preferred method to cast on 30 sts. Work about 2 inches of stockinette.

Keep the stitches on the needle or place them on a stitch holder, and keep the yarn attached to the work.

Please have all yarn wound and ready to use.
