Let's knit a sweater! Don't be intimidated; if you can knit and purl ribbing in the round, you can make this sweater! We will cover choosing a size, finding your gauge, and basic construction techniques for bottom-up, drop-shoulder sweaters. We'll also cover a tubular cast-on, tricks for jogless stripes, and seaming, picking up stitches, and other finishing skills.
