Learn why some methods are more suited to stockinette and garter stitch and why some are more visible on the back side of your work.
Bring smooth yarn (worsted or DK weight) and suitable needles.

*NOTE: Please bring two 3 x 6 blocked stockinette pieces in worsted weight yarn, knitting needles the same size you knitted with, and additional worsted weight yarn to knit the bands.
Also, if you have any additional questions or concerns particular to your project, please email your questions to cathy@drake-family.net. And I will prepare my best answers for the meeting to help you be successful. Don’t forget that December will be our show and tell time!
