Have you ever knitted up a fairly complicated project and it had real flaws in fit or design that you didn’t foresee?  At the June meetings we will help each other really look at the presentation of projects and try to develop a critical sense of how the project will actually turn out. We will closely examine how the model is presented in the photograph. Is the neck too high in the front? Is it too short? Are the armholes too tight? Does the front border pull up?

These are common problems in patterns and can cause great disappointment. Developing some skill in avoiding, or possibly fixing by changing the instructions, will be our goal. A critical eye is what we all need to become happier knitters!

So bring along any pattern  (it can be on your device) and/or projects from the back of the closet that you can’t bear to look at. We will try to analyze what went wrong and how you could have foreseen the difficulty by looking carefully at the pattern before attempting it.
