OOPS! Get your knitting back on track!


OOPS! is a beginner’s guide to getting your knitting back on track, presented by Alissa Barton the Knitting Fairy. In this 3-hour class we will cover many of the mistakes encountered by new knitters and talk about how to get your knitting back on track without pulling everything back out.
