A Brain-Fogged Knitter & Designer

Oh boy. I was ready for a challenge when I decided to participate in this Craftsy class! I just loved the color work, the pockets AND wanted to try steaking my first sweater! Success! I love my results! You can find the class I took on Craftsy. It is called the Throughstone Sweater Knit-a-long. https://www.craftsy.com Check out my patterns and More at https://www.maahomestead.com IG: KnittyHeidi Pinterest: KnittyHeidi Facebook: MAA Homestead Happy Day!

My friend texted me with concern that she had done something wrong but she didn't know what. She had tried searching knitting mistake videos, but still had no clue what was happening on her needles. So she sent me some pictures. I knew right away what the issue was-because I myself have done this, and it is a COMMON KNITTG MISTAKE with beginners. No worries it is super simple to fix and takes only seconds. Happy Day! Heidi www.maahomestead.com Insta: @knittyheidi
