Fixing Mistakes in Brioche - Online Workshop
This class will help you to take charge and be brave in the event you make a mistake while working on your project in basic brioche in one and two colors. Interested? We will cover some important points and the rhythm of basic brioche knitting that will help you find a solution to various problems. You will see how to fix a running stitch, find a dropped yarnover, use a lifeline, deal with bowing sides, and the most daring of all: unraveling rows and placing stitches back on the needle.
