But did you know that this simple technique can create magical results? You can transform flat surfaces into three dimensions, and add curves to straight lines. Come learn all about Carol’s favourite short row techniques, how she adds them to her knitting, and explore the wide range of ways they can be used in your knitting.

The Tale Of Gregory Stitch
Thomas Gregory Hamilton is an Atlanta native. From a very young age he has always shown an interest in fashion. Like any fashion enthusiast, he Indulged into this world by researching and studying designers such as Versace, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Roberto Cavali, and his all-time favorite Balmain. He admired how each brand told a story with clothes in their own way.
Stitch put his passion for fashion on hold for years to pursue his dance career. It wasn’t until 2011 when his mother, Linda Marie Truitt, passed that he discovered the art of crochet. It became a means of therapy to help deal with his loss. Soon Gregory began making and selling scarves and hats and before long he was making hoodies, sweaters, suits, and dresses. In February 2017 Gregory Stitch had the honor to debut a collection at New York Fashion Week! This past January Gregory served as a mentor and a designer for the Kaleidoscope Fashion Show by Vogue Knitting live. There he debuted his latest collection, Kang/Chris, which went on to be featured in both Vogue Knitting and Crochet Now magazines. The future is still waiting to be stitched!
