Tips & Techniques
Class Details:
There are so many wonderful knitting tricks that make our lives better. Over the years of knitting and teaching I’ve accumulated quite a few fantastic tricks. I love it when I’m teaching a class and a student declares “I love that tip!” So I’ve decided to dig into my knitting bag of tricks and put them all in one class. From doing a better SSK to making matching-size YOs to avoiding the gap at the end of a bind off to tightening your first stitch to making better neck divides, and more. Get ready to find your new favorite knitting tricks! Technique Requirements: Knit/purl; cast on/bind off; increase/decrease; have knit a few accessories; having knit at least on sweater or followed a pattern helpful but not required.
Homework:
Swatch #1: CO 28 stitches
Row 1 *K3, P2 *, rep from * to * to last 3 stitches, K3
Row 2 *P3, k2*, rep from * to * to last 3 stitches, P3.
Repeat Rows 1-2 for a couple of inches, working in K3, P2 rib, do not bind off, we will be working this swatch. End with a WS row (ready to work a RS row)  
 
Swatch #2: Cast on 24 stitches, work 2" in plain stockinette (NO GARTER EDGE), enough to get a sense of your knitting style.
Do not bind off, we will be working this swatch. End with a WS row (ready to work a RS row).
