To begin a triangular shawl, work this fascinating cast on that looks like a starburst.

Conquer your fear of ripping an SSK with this Tiny Tutorial! Follow the video to learn how to confidently undo an SSK decrease or read these tips: Underneath the single stitch on the right hand needle are the two stitches that were worked together. Insert the left hand needle into the fronts of those two stitches from the left towards the right. Once the two stitches from the decrease are secure on the left needle, pull the single stitch off of the right hand needle and detangle the working yarn. The stitches that had been previously SSK’d will be sitting twisted on the left-hand needle, so you’ll need to untwist them before you work them again. I’m on a mission to keep you in stitches!

Picking up a DROPPED YARN OVER is this Tiny Tutorial! A common problem in lace knitting is accidentally losing a yarn over. Maybe the yarn over was never worked or it fell off on a subsequent row. Either way, if you’re short a stitch in a lace pattern, look for a missing hole! My video shows how to pick up a yarn over that was worked on the second-to-last row, with a purl row worked after it. If you’re doing a garter pattern, pick up the yarn over from the other side so you get a garter ridge. If you just finished the row that had the yarn overs, pick up the running thread between the two needles when you get to that spot - and then work it as the yarn over.

Tutorial video by knitting instructor and knitwear designer Shaina Bilow. Has your knitting met lifelines yet? I think they’re going to be best friends. When you’re working on a project (usually lace) that is tricky to fix and rip, thread a strand of fine yarn through one row of stitches. If you make an error that can’t be fixed, you can undo your work to the lifeline and easily pick up the stitches! I recommend putting in lifelines at the end of pattern repeats. Example: if your pattern is 16 rows, place the lifelines after completing every row 16 or every other row 16, depending on your comfort level. Still unsure about how to do it? Try this first on a swatch to get the hang of it! Knitting is such a wonderful stress-reliever, so I’m on a mission to keep you in stitches!
