Is your knitting mysteriously growing on the edges? Do you have strange holes in your fabric? Perhaps you’re losing stitches and can’t figure out how or where. Fixing Mistakes is the perfect class for knitters who have become somewhat comfortable with the craft and are looking to learn more about the fabric, it’s construction and how to repair several of the most common errors. We’ll take you through dropped stitches, accidental yarnovers, mystery holes, twisted stitches and discuss our favourite “tinking” methods. Teacher: Alison Skill Level: late beginner. Students should be quite comfortable with knit and purl and have several projects under their belt. Homework: using worsted weight scrap yarn in a light colour and 4.5mm or 5mm needles, cast on 15 stitches and work about 15 rows in stocking stitch (knitting on one side, purling on the other). Leave the stitches on your needles and bring the swatch with you to the class. Teacher: Alison All classes take place at 6pm in our Kensington Market shop. Please arrive a few minutes early. Once we have received your order, we will send you an email to confirm and to go over a bit more information. Please note that these classes are geared towards adults as children tend to learn at a much different speed. If you have a young friend under the age of 16 who would like to learn, please reach out to us directly to make arrangements. We are a scent-free space. Cancelation Policy: If you need to miss the class, please give us as much notice as you can. We do not offer refunds for missed classes, but if you give us more than 24 hours notice, we will transfer your registration fee to another class or to store credit.
