Oopsie Fixes
We will make a swatch to learn and practice several techniques that will help you correct those oopsies without having to start your project over.
Techniques we will be working on:
-
Picking up dropped stitches
-
Correcting a skipped stitch
-
Changing knits to purls and purls to knits
-
Correcting mis-crossed cables
-
Create an after-though yarn over
-
Feel free to bring in ideas or problems you have faced to class

Supplies
-
A skein of a smooth DK or worsted weight wool yarn. A light color will be easier to work with and see your stitches (examples: Plymouth SW Worsted, Hikoo Simpliworsted, Cascade 220)
-
Knitting needles (circular or straight) appropriate for your yarn to work your swatch; most likely a US size 7, 8, or 9
-
2-3 DPNs (double pointed needles) appropriate for your yarn; can be 1-2 sizes smaller than your working needle
-
Cable needle
-
Needle stoppers
-
A stitch fixer tool
-
About 4 locking stitch markers
-
Optional: you may purchase an “Oopsie Fix-It Kit” from the LambShoppe
Homework: Deb will email participants homework to be completed prior to class. You may need 2-3 days to complete the swatch.
Skill Level: | Intermediate |
Skill Details: | You need to be proficient at basic knitting skills so you can make the swatch (CO, knit, purl, slipped sts, and 2x2 cables). |
Requirements: | This class is appropriate for the intermediate knitter and the adventurous beginner, although advanced knitters may also pick up some new techniques. This is not a learn to knit class; it will be most beneficial for those who have made a few items already (for example - scarf, shawl, hat, etc.). |
