can help alleviate strain since you can switch off hands. We will make
a simple garter stitch dishcloth to get going and follow up with a lacy
scarf that involves knits, purls, increases and decreases. We will discuss
the way stitches sit on the needle. Recognizing proper stitch mount will
keep you from inadvertently twisting stitches and make
for much quicker knitting.
