Class - Fearless Knitting

Description:  Knowing how to read your knitting and how to fix your mistakes can increase your confidence and empower you to knit fearlessly. We will cover a number of concepts and techniques that will help you to read correct knitting. They include:

- Reading your knitting - unless you know what good looks like, it’s hard to see mistakes
- Twisted stitches (leading edge) - stitches need to be mounted on your needle appropriately to be knit correctly
- Dropped stitches - one of the most common issues encountered and easier to fix than you think
- Tink-ing back - “T-I-N-K” or K-N-I-Tting backwards is a relatively easy way to back up to a mistake that needs to be addressed
- Lifelines - putting a lifeline into a complex knit allows you to feel confidence that you will limit the impact of any mistakes
- Knitting in the wrong direction - how to recognize and avoid knitting in the wrong direction
- Extra end stitches - the last stitch on a row can be somewhat tricky, resulting in the creation of extra stitches. Learn how to avoid this common issue
