From Susan — Tip Enhancement

Filed under: Knitting Tips — lv2knit @ 1:44 pm

Auntie Ann commented on my post about using a smaller needle to pick up a row/round of sts before ripping out.  She makes a lot of socks and therefore doesn’t really have a knitting needle two sizes smaller, so she uses a small tapestry needle with waste yarn to pick up the sts below the mistake before ripping out.  I often use a tapestry needle with waste yarn as a st holder, but I don’t think I have used it for fixing mistakes on small gauge projects.  Thanks for the tip enhancement, Auntie Ann!
