Learn how to fix the most common knitting mistakes that face advanced beginner to intermediate knitters. Students in this class will knit a small swatch with mistakes knit in (I’ll provide the instructions and it’s easy.) Then the class will work together following a written instruction sheet to address each type of problem. We'll practice Tinking (one stitch at a time), Frogging (one row at a time), changing purls to knits and knits to purls mid-row, dropping down and laddering back up stitches, duplicate stitch and weaving in ends, removing extra yarn overs, picking up stitches 4 rows down, placing lifelines multiple ways, and dropping down to fix a mis-crossed cable. We start out with the easiest mistakes and work our way up to more complicated fixes.
