Thinking about knitting a sweater this winter? How about joining a group of knitters making a gorgeous Aran sweater from Alice Starmore’s Aran Knitting book? Deborah Dawson, one of our staff, will be leading a Aran Sweater Knit-Along that will meet from 7 to 9 pm on Monday, February 7, February 27, April 2, and April 30. This free knit-along is more about good company taking on similar challenging projects, sharing ideas and inspirations, instead of individual instructions and learning new techniques. If you find yourself in over your head, we’d happy to catch you up with a private lesson. Advanced sign up with yarn purchase is required to join the knit along. We are looking for at least 7 people and more more than 15.
Deborah will be knitting the Irish Moss Sweater. This elegant pullover, full of curvy lines and delicate cables, provides lots of textural interest without adding bulk. Both woman’s and man’s versions are available in the book. You will become an expert at cables and twisted and traveling stitches as a result of this anything-but-boring knitting experience. As an added plus, this pattern looks as gorgeous in colors as it does in the creamy natural colors of traditional aran knitting. You can choose any sweater you like from this book. We ask that you have some experience in knitting sweaters and cables to join this group. If you’re not sure come chat with us and we’ll discuss options.
