Even if you're already an experienced knitter! Class starts February 3rd!
Learn all about necklines and how they can change the look (as well as the fit!) of your sweater.
We'll cover body pattern details, and how to incorporate lace, cables and texture into your sweater design.

Even if you have no interest in design, this workshop will give you a deeper understanding of sweater construction - a skill that makes knitting any sweater easier!

Absolutely! This workshop is designed specifically for those with no design experience. No design skills are required.
You'll need yarn, needles, a calculator, tape measure, paper and pen. I'll share a list of other design resources in the workshop (like my favorite knitting stitch dictionaries) if you'd like to take your design journey even further.
