Both Sweater Series Classes that start in November are full. If you'd like to be put on a waiting list, please call us at 616.294.3492.
This series is tailored for you! After you choose your favorite sweater pattern this class will guide you through all the steps necessary for knitting a sweater that fits. We will start by considering yarn fibers and weights, move to size and fit, learn the importance of making a gauge swatch, cover techniques, and finally we will focus on finishing and care of garment. The class will concentrate on sweater basics as well as provide individual instruction.
Prerequisites: The student must be able to cast on, knit, purl and bind off as well as have some previous experience knitting and completing a project.
Skills Taught: Sweater construction, checking gauge, pattern reading, techniques, and
correcting mistakes.
