Everything you need to know to figure out all those tricky numbers issues you encounter in your knitting projects. This session focuses on how mathematics fits into pattern reading – counting and working and keeping track.

We’ll cover how to understand and work challenging instructions like “Decrease every 8 rows 10 times,” and "Increase 12 sts evenly distributed across the row." We’ll talk about calculating yardage in partial balls of yarn, and how to ensure you’re buying enough yarn for a project. We’ll also have a discussion of gauge and what it really means, how to check it, and how to deal with it if you can’t match.
