About Advanced Knit Fixes: Cables and Lace with Amy Snell

Mistakes in cables and lace can be intimidating to fix, but when we break down the process, you’ll see you already possess most of the requisite skills.
In this class, you’ll learn how to identify which stitches to drop, how to drop down sections of your work securely and how to keep track of rows while you knit them back up.

Materials, Equipment, and Supplies the Student Must Bring to Class

Your homework swatches. Several extra yards of the worsted weight yarn used to knit your swatches, dpns at least two sizes smaller than the needles used in your swatches, locking stitch markers or coil-less safety pins, a tapestry needle, and a crochet hook in size H, I, or J (5.0, 5.5, or 6.0 mm), blocking pins, a 6 x 6” piece of cardboard or foam core board.
