FIXING MISTAKES
Class Description: This class is becoming a perennial favorite. Do you spend a lot of time
ripping out all of your knitting because you make a mistake? Can you identify it, but don’t know
what to do about it? You will learn how to recognize and undo unsightly stitches, how to use a
crochet hook to pick up “dropped” stitches; and how to align your stitches on the needle to avoid
“crossed” stitches. Best of all, you will only undo a few stitches, not rows upon rows, to undo an
error missed several rows ago.
Materials: Use worsted weight yarn and appropriate needles, and an “F” or “G” crochet hook.
Level: Beginner
Homework: Bring a stockinette swatch about 4 inches square still on the needles to recreate
some of these situations.
