We've all been there — a dropped stitch, a mistake discovered three rows back, or that sinking feeling when you realise something went wrong after you've bound off. Patty Lyons' Knitting ER is the ultimate first-aid kit for your knitting!
Packed with practical repair techniques, step-by-step tutorials and clever solutions, this comprehensive guide will help you rescue your knitting at any stage — whether you're still working on your project or have already finished it.
Patty covers everything from simple snags and dropped stitches through to more complex structural repairs, including specialty stitches such as brioche and half fisherman's rib. She also shares ingenious ways to alter and repair finished garments, including adding a missing cable or adjusting sleeve lengths.
