Everything You Need to Read Your Knitting
Why does your knit stitch look a certain way when it’s twisted? What twisted it? What do you do if you drop a stitch and need to fix it? With experience, and a bit of practice, you can figure out what caused each issue and how to fix it.
But more importantly, if you want to master your knitting, there is no better way to do it than to learn to read your knitting and understand your stitches.
To make your life easier, I have put together a list of tutorials and classes that will help you to learn to read your stitches and knit more confidently!

To avoid this, I have prepared these detailed tutorials for you which will show you how to count your rows and why it is important to you.
Keep Tracking
I have been asked a lot on how to track your stitches especially in complex patterns and multiple pieces. So here is everything you will ever want to know about how to tracking your knitting. And, trust me, it will help you to not be lost and avoid the “how many have I done?” moments.
