Description: This class uses Isager's design to explore knitting a sweater body in multicolor vertical stripes. For those who prefer to knit a solid color sweater, there is still plenty of challenge in the openwork patterning and the shaping. We will use the first class to discuss the pattern, the shaping, the drape, and to explore colorways. After our discussion, we will move into the shop to select our yarns. Homework for the 2nd class will be to prepare a swatch which will provide guidance for the rest of your knitting. There is a break between the 4th & 5th classes to provide some extra time for knitting |
