Thinking about knitting your first big project like a sweater or a large shawl? In this 3-hour session, we’ll show you how to plan your project to get you on the right track from the start. We’ll cover choosing a suitable pattern (or bring one that you’d like to start), swatching and gauge, adjusting needle size, yarn substitution, and tools to make the knitting experience easier.

Materials Required: You may bring any materials, a swatch, or a pattern you have already chosen one, but it is not required. 

Skills Required: participants must be comfortable with a variety of techniques: casting on, knitting and purling, binding off, increases and decreases, and any other techniques required in chosen pattern. THIS IS NOT A TECHNIQUE LEARNING CLASS. 

Instructor: Matt Sparling
