Fixing and Understanding Mistakes Workshop

Ready to overcome the fear of making a mistake in your knitting?

In this class we will learn how we make our mistakes, what they look like, and how to fix them. We will pick up dropped stitches in stockinette and garter and find lost yarn overs. We'll learn how to recognize twisted stitches, "tink back" or undo stitches, rip out entire rows of knitting while successfully getting it back on the needle, and even how to add lifelines.

We'll also learn to count rows in different stitch patterns and properly measure our knitting. Walk away with the skills you will utilize for years to come.
