About

Want to knit a sweater, but too nervous to try? Join this class to work through the project with a supportive group of people.

For this class we will use the Wool and Honey Sweater pattern by Andrea Mowry. This is a sweater that packs a big visual punch with very achievable constructions methods. We will start the first session by talking about critical issues like fit and gauge before casting on our sweaters. In subsequent sessions, we will work through many issues, including the short row section, the elongated stitch pattern, transitioning at the sleeves, magic loop for small circumference knitting, and using appropriate cast offs.

Students will make a Wool and Honey Sweater in their own size. Among other skills students will learn about short rows, gauge and fitting, sweater shaping, magic loop method, and finishing

Details:

• Students should be comfortable casting on, knitting and purling. This class is appropriate for confident beginners.
• A $5 fee, included in the cost of the class, covers handouts you will receive. See below for what students should bring.
