Sue,
This is some of the best advice I have ever read on a news group. I
have ever made mistakes on purpose to see how they came apart and how I
can put them together again.
It is so important learn how to read you work. It takes some time to
look at every stitch for a minute or two knit a while then do it again,
you have to get some knitting or crochet done.
Every one I teach I tell them the same thing learn how to read you
knitting or crochet. Just as Sue said look at the front and back for
several stitches work a while the do it again. You will as Sue said
learn to spot most of your mistakes as you are making them.
You also learn so much by experimenting with tearing out a few stitches
and etc, Every time you lean something new look at the front and back
every stitch as Sue said, you will learn so much.
EXPIRMENT!
It is so important as Noreen has said many time to keep a journal of
what you make and take notes during the constructin process, it will
save you tons heart-ache later in you knitting and crochet projects.
Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail

++Yeah, always examine your knitting. When you knit a stitch, look on the other
side to see what it looks like there. Same with a purl. One of the `tricks' to
becoming an experienced knitter isn't so much how long you've been knitting,
but learning how to read your knitting so you know if/when you've made a
mistake, and what it should look like so you can fix it.
