Are you tired of knitting from patterns? Do you have a sweater in
your imagination that you can’t quite find the perfect instructions
for? Are you an aspiring garment designer?
If any of these
questions piqued your interest, then you are probably ready to design
your own sweater! I’ll be teaching an online class over the next 8
weeks right here on the Stash Blog, which will cover everything you
need to know to knit a seamless sweater from the bottom up to fit your
personal measurements precisely! Each week, there will be video
discussions of the curent topic and free pdf downloads of my notes and
worksheets. I’ll be knitting my own sweater as we go, and if you knit along with
me, you’ll be able to easily have yours done too in the 8-week period.
Feel free to ask questions in the comments section of the posts–I’ll
answer as many as humanly posible and other will chime in too, so that
folks who can’t knit along with us can still access the class later!
As
I learned while shooting the first video, I can really run off at the
mouth! So I’ll stop writing now and just let the videos speak for
themselves. This is our introductory lesson. I’ll be giving an overview
of the course, encouraging you to knit a sweater for yourself, and
discussing yarn options from a design perspective so that you can
select your yarns and be ready to start knitting with them in time for
next week’s discussion on gauge and swatching. Click through for the videos, and Enjoy!
