You can spend weeks or even months knitting a beautiful garment which has cost you quite a bit of money in yarn and time, then you leave it for months or even years before you get around to sewing it up. Sounds familiar? Then you need this course. Let me teach you all my sweater finishing tricks.

This course is suitable for knitters of all abilities. 

Anniken's in person Professional Finishing Techniques workshops are very popular.

Leslie attended my Professional Finishing Techniques at Social Fabric in 2013 and said: "A 'eureka' day with Anniken. So simple and so obvious when you know how!!! My finishing will now be an exact science, rather than 'hit and miss'."

 Helen J has taken my online Professional Finishing Techniques and says: "Anniken's easy to follow instructions means i can confidently say my finished garments look great. One very happy knitter!"

The advantage of an online class is that you can go back and view the class info as often as you wish and in your own time, rather than being confined to a one day workshop.

This course will start as soon as you sign up and you can work through the course in your own time.
