OOOPS! Correcting Mistakes and Learning to read your knitting

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, what to do next, whether that be correcting a problem or moving ahead!

Vertical Stripes With Knit One Below

Knitting in the Stitch below can produce a variety of effects, including creating stunning vertical stripes with a thick, soft, supple fabric while knitting with only one color per row or round. In this class, we will cover and practice the K1B technique to create the column stitch with both flat knitting and knitting in the round.  The column stitch becomes vertical stripes when using two colors. Experimentation with variegated colors and textured yarns can add further interest and pizzazz.  Suitable cast-ons and bind-offs for this soft, expanded fabric with be taught, as well as tips for attractive edges.
