Fix My Mistake Workshop

Description: Learning how to knit also means learning how to fix your mistakes! It's okay, we all make them. In this workshop, students will gain the confidence to tackle these mistakes on their own. 

Through a series of demos and hands on learning, students will practice how to pick up dropped stitches in both stockinette stitch and garter stitch, how to identify and fix twisted stitches, how to add a lifeline, how to tighten loose stitches, and the duplicate stitch for fixing holes and weaving in ends. 

This advanced beginner friendly class is open to students who can knit and purl comfortably on their own. 

Please note that swatch instructions are below, but will also be sent ahead of class, so please make sure to use a current email address. Students should arrive with their swatch prepared so we can immediately begin making mistakes and fixing them. There will not be time to make your swatch in class.
