About this Event
Knitting a jumper for the first time can feel overwhelming, there are so many moving parts: gauge, shaping, sleeves, necklines. Over 8 Thursday evenings we work through it together, step by step, so that by the end you haven't just knitted a jumper, you understand how it works.
This is not a follow-the-pattern course. There is a structure and a main shape to follow, but room to customise at your will. You'll learn to read your own measurements, translate them into stitches and rows, and make your own design decisions. The jumper you knit will be yours, in your size and your colour choices.
THIS IS AN 8-SESSIONS COURSE. It will take place on the following dates:
Oct. 22nd / 18:30 – 20:00
Oct. 29th / 18:30 – 20:00
Nov. 5th / 18:30 – 20:00
Nov. 12th / 18:30 – 20:00
