Learning to see your stitches within the fabric you are knitting is just as important as being able to see them on the needle. Recognizing the stitches on the needle is like knowing the alphabet, recognizing the stitches in the fabric you're making is like reading ... reading your knitting. Training your eyes to see, recognize and read your knitting is really important because being able to do this will allow you to see mistakes, see how a pattern should work out while your are knitting it and will enable you to make adjustments and corrections or improvisations as you see fit. Can you see the stitches in each of the stitch patterns below?
