Everyone wants their sweater to turn out just perfect. Unfortunately this doesn’t always happen and newer knitters frequently end up with their first few garment attempts hidden in the back of the wardrobe.

This class will give knitters the skills to tweak their garment (during knitting or when finished) so that they will love the end result. Are your finished sleeves so long they’d fit an orangutan? Do you wish you had a pocket in just the right spot to slip your hands? Or maybe you love a particular pattern but hate that it’s knit flat rather than in one piece?

This class will also give knitters the confidence to add all those special touches that make a garment their own.

Required Skill level:

Knitters should ideally have finished a sweater or know how they are constructed. Class will be of most use to knitters who ran into problems and wants help figuring out different ways to correct them.

Skills Learned:

Measuring yourself correctly, problem analysis of sweater, correcting length problems for sleeves and body, basic steeking and afterthought pockets

Advance Prep: Please knit two swatches in Stocking Stitch that measure approximately 5x5”. Swatches knit in ‘sticky’ yarn are preferred - e.g. Studio Donegal Aran Tweed, Debbie Bliss BFL Aran or BFL DK.

It’s not essential but if possible bring a sweater that you want to alter with you and, if possible, a knitted sweater in a similar weight that fits well (this doesn’t have to be hand knit).

Materials Required:

Yarn and needles suitable for yarn. Ideally same yarb as used for swatch Crochet hook in size smaller than needle size used for swatch Sharp scissors Measuring tape Tapestry needle
