Run out of yarn before you finished knitting that
fabulous sweater? Buttonholes won't hold your fancy
buttons? Can't tell your knit stitch from your purl
stitch? Don't just fix it, Knit Fix it! Knit Fix puts
together all the guidance novice knitters need to become
independent and all the advice experienced knitters need
to take their projects to the next level. Written in a
conversational, approachable style, Knit Fix is the
essential repair manual for knitters. It's all here -
from the basics of what a stitch looks like to
techniques for solving the toughest knitting problems.
Author Lisa Kartus cheerfully teaches you to see and
mend the errors of your knitting ways, with advice on
what to do in case of a brain freeze, how to rescue a
sweater gone horribly wrong, and when it's okay to let
mistakes stand. Knit Fix will teach you to assess your
knitting philosophy, size buttonholes correctly, cast on
and bind off, decipher charts, choose fibers and
calculate yardage, tackle holes, join yarns, work with
multicolor knitting, alter a finished piece, and
customize a pattern to suit you perfectly. Personal
stories about the author's own knitting challenges -
like deforesting a sweater in a complicated pattern and
what she did with the sweater that fit like a gorilla
suit - will keep you laughing about your troubles.
You'll perfect your knitting techniques, learn from your
mistakes, and finesse your style. No matter what your
knitting dilemma, Knit Fix will make fixing all your
problems a snap!
