Tinking 101: Dropped Stitches
5:30 PM    Knit'n Needle

Description:
The phone rings and the timer on the oven buzzes, you put down your knitting and tend to both. When you get back, you see that some stitches have fallen off your needle and are quickly unraveling down your work. Take this 1 hour “Tinking” (knitting spelled backwards) class and learn how to quickly and easily recover these dropped stitches without having to rip back multiple rows. PLEASE NOTE: You must arrive to class with a knitted swatch. See "homework" below.

Using worsted weight yarn (light color) and needles to gauge, cast on 20 sts.
