Sweater Emergencies, Solved!

Sweater knitting doesn't have to be stressful - sometimes it's just knowing how to tackle surprises (and emergencies) when they happen. Or better yet, knowing how to avoid them in the first place. Sweater Rescue 911 is all about tackling those knitting emergencies with confidence. Learning to navigate sweater emergencies gets easier with practice - the more you do it, the better you'll get. In this workshop, we'll do it together! Your Olive Knits workshops never expire, so you can revisit your lessons again and again when you need them. Knit sweaters (that fit!) with confidence. New lessons open weekly for 6 weeks.

  • Need more or less length for your sweater or sleeves? I've got you!

  • Discovered a problem a little too late? It's almost always fixable!

  • Sweater Surgery - let's walk through it together!
