An in-person class with Harry Wells

Nov 13, 1:30-4:30pm PST

Learn to read your knitting and become a more confident, informed knitter.

Ever looked at your knitting and said, “What happened THERE?” Seen a dropped stitch way down there? Or picked up your project and wondered, “Where in the world was I?” How many decreases/increases have I worked? What row was I on? That’s OOPS!

This workshop can help. It’s divided into two sections; Knowing Where You Are and Identifying and Correcting Mistakes. Harry shares all sorts of tips on how to read your knitting so you’ll recognize what you are looking at, where you are, and what to do next, whether that be correcting a problem or moving ahead with confidence!

A sampling of the topics covered includes recognizing types of stitches, counting rows in stockinette stitch and garter stitch, unknitting, the importance of stitch mount, identifying and fixing twisted stitches, vertical fixes for stitch mistakes or dropped stitches found lower in your knitted fabric, lifelines, causes of holes in knitting, and common causes of having too many stitches or not enough stitches.
