Knit your very first summer garment project with confidence in our First Summer Tee Guided Knitalong workshop. In this four session workshop, you will be able to knit your sweater in a casual and friendly "knitalong" type setting, with our experienced instructor to help you along the way. We've chosen the pattern Anker's Summer Tee, a straightforward top down yoke increase and raglan style sweater. Knit with Sandnes Garn Line, a very popular medium weight summer yarn that comes in a wide range of colours. Each of the four sessions is two weeks apart so that you are given the time needed to complete your project. 

The first session (required attendance) will be similar to our Project Prep Basics class- a crash course in everything you need to know before starting a substantial project. The next three sessions will be a more casual setting, where you can work on your project and meet/chat with peers, and get help from the instructor as you need it. While attendance is not required for these sessions, we strongly recommend that you attend in order to gain a full appreciation of the knitalong experience.
