Tips & Techniques
Class Details:
Delve beyond picking up a dropped stitch into more major fixes. Do you feel like you make a bigger mess when trying to fix lace or shaping? Learn how to “tink” or un-knit increases and decreases without losing a stitch. Reverse a cable or add a missing cable many rows down. Fix common mistakes in lace such as a missing yo or a k2tog three rows down. Even learn how to shorten or lengthen your knitted piece. You have the power to fix without frogging! Technique Requirements: Must know increases and decreases, know basic cabling. If you can knit the swatches, you can fix the swatches!!
