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 


Class Policies - Please Review

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.).
