HOW to READ your KNITTING CLASS
Learning how to read your knitting is an important skill to develop as you continue to grow into your craft. One of the main advantages in learning how to read your work is that you'll be able to make the connection between how your project is constructed and the fabric that grows on your needles in real time. You'll be able to readily catch and problem-solve mishaps in your work, like a dropped stitch or an off-kilter stitch pattern.
