Simple Summer Sweaters (starts Apr 23)

Four 2-hour classes; $50 + tax & supplies

This Tuesday morning class is for folks who know the basics of knitting, and would like to move up to sweater knitting.  Using one of three mistake-proof patterns from Knitting Pure & Simple, and with Dawn’s guidance, you will create a summer pullover that is uniquely your own.  Select a neckline (crew, v-neck or henley); Dawn will help you modify your sleeve length and silhouette if you wish.  Best of all, the top-down patterns mean minimal finishing!

Opulent Raglan Workshop

Five 2-hour class; $50 + tax & supplies

Using a light worsted weight yarn and a lovely top down sweater, Kiko will teach you a number of techniques for making your sweaters fit YOU and your style.  She’ll cover changing stitch patterns (she subbed in a lovely lace and texture design instead of the written cables) waist shaping, bust darts, neck line height, modifying edgings, adjusting body and sleeve length, and very importantly – how to knit your garment for the best looking finishing! We’ll be using a basic sweater pattern from The Best of Knitscene or Interweave Knitscene Fall 2008 issue which has basic and simple lines that are easy to adapt.  You can take this top down sweater and make it into anything you want – a fitted tunic length sweater, a baggy everyday pullover, or knit it as it’s shown as a stylish shaped sweater with lovely knitting details.
