HOW TO FIX MISTAKES

Have you ever dropped a stitch or gotten 2 inches up and noticed a purl stitch peeking out where a knit should have been or found a hole created by a yarn over?  

Maybe you picked up your knitting and started going the wrong direction--which also created a hole in your work.  

Sound familiar?

HOMEWORK

* Bring in completed swatch (approx. 4" x 4") stockinette stitch (knit 1 row, purl 1 row). 

* Leave your swatch on your needles please.  

* Do not bind off.   

* Please use plain, light colored yarn (i.e.; no dark colors like black or navy).

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

MATERIALS  

* One extra set of needles (2 to 3 sizes smaller than used for the swatch). 

* A crochet hook (equivalent to the size of needle used for swatch) or 1 size smaller. 

* The knit gauge will show you if you are not sure.

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

* Pen and paper for notes.

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