Basic Knit Fixes: Recognize, Avoid, and Fix Your Mistakes
Uh-oh, there’s something wrong with your knitting! Never fear, almost everything in knitting can be fixed. In this class, you’ll learn how to “read” your knitting to identify problems, what causes issues like accidental holes and unintentionally expanding knitting, and how to fix common problems like dropped or twisted stitches. You’ll learn how to tink, how to frog, and how to know which one to do when. You’ll learn how and when to use lifelines, when we can fix a missed increase or decrease, and a few other tips and tricks along the way!
Level: Suitable for those who can cast on, bind off, knit and purl, increase and decrease.
Supplies: Smooth, light-colored worsted weight yarn and needles you use for that weight of yarn (generally US #7-9), a dpn or circular needles at least two sizes smaller, a few locking stitch markers or coil-less safety pins, a yarn of dental floss or embroidery thread, a tapestry needle, and a crochet hook in size H, I, or J (5.0 , 5.5, or 6.0 mm).
Homework: Using the yarn and needles in the supply list, cast on 20 stitches and knit 20 rows in stockinette stitch working flat (knit a row, turn, purl a row, repeat).
