MONDAY, MARCH 16
2 - 5 pm
No matter how much care we take with our knitted items, sometimes they develop holes, pulls, snags, or even moth damage. Never fear! With just a bit of effort, you can repair the damage and ready your knits for many more years of use. In this class you’ll learn several different methods for repairing damage, and when to use each.
Intermediate and up: Students should be able to cast on, bind off, knit, purl, work in the round, and read their knitting.
Homework: Make a flat swatch using a smooth, light color worsted weight yarn and straight needles to suit (usually US# 6-8) by casting on 20 stitches and knit at least 4” in stockinette. Bind off.
Supplies: At least 15 extra yards of the worsted weight yarn used to knit your swatch, dpns at least two sizes smaller than the needles used in your swatch, locking stitch markers or coil-less safety pins, a tapestry needle, and a crochet hook in size H, I, or J (5.0 , 5.5, or 6.0 mm). A darning egg or small ball are useful but not required.
