Knit A Sweater That Fits
THIS IS A VIRTUAL CLASS THAT MEETS ON ZOOM!
Are you too worried about sizing to even try to knit a sweater? Do your knitting needles produce randomly sized sweaters? Before you cast on a single stitch, ensure that the sweater you knit will fit by using techniques from this class to select your size, make modifications, and customize your fit! Students should be comfortable knitting and purling.
