HOW TO FIX MISTAKES

    

Have you ever dropped a nasty little stitch, 

      or gotten 2 inches up and noticed a nasty little Purl stitch 

           peeking out where a Knit stitch should have been,

      or found a nasty little hole created by a yarn over?  

Or maybe you picked up your knitting and 

      started going the wrong direction

      (which also created a nasty little hole in your work).

Does all this sound a little nasty and familiar?

 

Let's learn how to fix these nasty little mistakes...

...and usually without tearing out the entire project!

  

Some examples of nasty little mistakes might look like these ...

                                              

       Dropped Stitch-nasty!         Yarn-Over Hole-nasty!       Twisted Stitches-nasty!         Reverse Direction-nasty!

HOMEWORK

* Bring in a completed swatch (4"x 4")

      (using a stockinette stitch: knit 1 row, purl 1 row).

* Please use plain, light colored yarn

      (i.e.; no dark colors like black or navy).

* Yarn should be Worsted weight and no lighter than DK or Sport.

* Do not Bind-off.

* Please leave the needles on the swatch.

MATERIALS

* One extra set of needles that are 2 to 3 sizes smaller 

      than the needles that were used to make the swatch).

* A crochet hook that is equivalent to the size of needle 

     that you used to make the swatch...or 1 size smaller.

* The Knit Gauge can show you the correct size...if you are not sure.

* A Coil-less pin or locking ring marker (or a small stitch marker will do).

* Pen and paper for taking a few notes.

* One large smile - for the rest of us - will do nicely as well.
