The nice thing is that you can use these techniques to decorate your knitting or purchased jersey.

You should not be afraid of a bit of fiddling, but ultimately you can work just as fine or coarse as you want. After this workshop you will be no longer scared to fix a hole in your knitwear. It becomes a reason to make it something beautiful!
