3 unusual stitches, worked in 2 colors, just 1 color at a time, in the round. The "swatch" results in a lovely fingerless mitt that could easily be completed as a mitten or glove. Worked in worsted weight yarn and elastic stitches, this is a fast and gratifying mini-project!

Darn It! and Mending Knits

Instructor: Merike Saarniit       Class Capacity: 25
Class Level: All Levels      

Description ~ Darn It! and Mending Knits

First, we'll learn and practice the best way to darn holes that avoids  the uncomfortable ridges resulting from other darning instructions. We'll also cover how to avoid darning (at least for a while). While darning is most often used for sock repair (Superwash merino wears out fast!), there are times we want invisible repairs.  Mending holes in sweaters or hats can be done in a way that is virtually invisible when you know how. And you will!
