Does your stockinette fabric look more like rippling waves than a smooth sea? You might be experiencing rowing out—the uneven look that happens when knit and purl rows don’t match in tension. In this class, you’ll learn how to identify the cause of your rowing out and explore practical solutions to even out your stitches. We’ll cover adjustments in technique, needle choices, and yarn handling so you can create beautifully consistent fabric. Whether you’re a new knitter or a seasoned pro who’s frustrated by wobbly rows, you’ll leave with the skills to smooth things out for good.
