In this lively conversation, designers and instructors Kyle Kunnecke and Shaina Bilow share stories, strategies, and laughs about the inevitable “oops” moments in knitting.
Together, they’ll explore when to fix a mistake, when to fudge it, and when to lean in and make it part of the design. You’ll leave feeling more confident, better equipped to read your work, and maybe even a little more forgiving of your future self.
