WIPS: Swirl Hat and Giveaway

I'm really loving how the swirl pattern is forming on my Swirl Hat!  I did have a small fiasco the other night when I wasn't paying attention and about thirty stitches fell off the needles.  Yikes.  That was a pain to fix -- and it took f o r e v e r.  While I hope that I never lose stitches like that again, is there an easy fix? 

My giveaway for a skein of Apple Picking yarn, the same that I am using for my Swirl Hat, ends very soon, so make sure to enter now!  (Ends 9/4/14.  US only.)

In non-yarny craft news, did you see my Leather and Glass Bead Wrap Bracelet?
