“Pick up and knit” is an instruction that often causes a lot of stress and worry. This session is all about how to pick up stitches, easily and neatly, to ensure that you have the right number of stitches and the result looks great. We’ll cover garment necklines and buttonbands, sock gussets, and mitten thumbs; we’ll also talk about special situations like Entrelac and pick-up-and-purl.
