OOOPS! Correcting Knitting Mistakes and Learning How to "Read" Your Knitting

Saturday, March 8, 2025, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET
Harry Wells

This class is specifically designed for less-experienced knitters and is all about knitting literacy: being able to “read your knitting.” You will leave class a more competent, informed knitter. Ever look at your knitting and say, "What happened THERE?", or picked up your knitting project and wondered "Where am I in the pattern?"—how many decreases or increases have I worked? what row was I on? and why did this end up too big/too small?? Ever panic as a dropped stitch ran down your knitting, not knowing what to do? Take this class! Divided into two sections, Knowing Where You Are and Identifying and Correcting Mistakes, this class teaches how to "read" your knitting--to recognize what you are looking at, where you are, and what to do next, whether that be correcting a problem or moving ahead!
