- Skill Level: late beginner. Students should be quite comfortable with knit and purl and have several projects under their belt.
- Homework: using worsted weight scrap yarn in a light colour and 4.5mm or 5mm needles, cast on 15 stitches and work about 15 rows in stocking stitch (knitting on one side, purling on the other). Leave the stitches on your needles and bring the swatch with you to the class.
Class: Fixing Mistakes
Is your knitting mysteriously growing on the edges? Do you have strange holes in your fabric? Perhaps you’re losing stitches and can’t figure out how or where. Fixing Mistakes is the perfect class for knitters who have become somewhat comfortable with the craft and are looking to learn more about the fabric, it’s construction and how to repair several of the most common errors. We’ll take you through dropped stitches, accidental yarnovers, mystery holes, twisted stitches and discuss our favourite “tinking” methods.
