Handy to know

Made a mistake? No problem! Check out our video guide on how to unpick your work with 'tinking'. This funny word is ‘knit’-ting in reverse, for when you spot a mistake in your current row and have to unpick stitches to get to the point where you can fix the mistake. It’s pretty easy, and well worth the trouble to keep your knitting pattern right.
