Elizabeth Zimmerman / Spin A Sweater:
Elizabeth Zimmermann almost single-handedly introduced circular knitting techniques to this country. Her patterns changed the way we think about knitting and simplified all types of garments. This class will introduce you to her techniques and show you how to design and create a sweater to fit using only a gauge swatch and a few basic measurements. Do this class with either millspun yarns or handspun (with one more class). The cost is $35.00 plus materials, or $45.00 (which includes the "spin your own class"). Taught by Tim Ackerman.|

Cabled Pullover Vest: This good-looking vest, knitted from the Nancy Lindberg "Family of Vests" pattern, is a wonderful addition to your wardrobe and a great introduction to cables for those "cable novices" out there. A basic sporty design, the eye-catching cable goes up the center front, then splits to dress up the V-neck. Knitted partially in the round, this vest can be sized for either children or adults. The cost is $35.00, plus materials. Taught by Angie Easterday. |

Design Your Own Top-Down Sweater: Who says sweaters have to be knitted from the bottom up? What if you have extra short of extra long arms? What if you are 7 feet tall? We will show you step by step how to get a great-fitting garment! This class will make you comfortable with working out a swatch, fitting the sweater properly, and working the all one-piece garment from the top down! The sweater can be tried on as you knit, so you know it fits! And, it's quick to knit! Your choice of pullover or cardigan styles. Great as a "first sweater" or a 50th sweater. The cost is $45.00. Taught by Nancy de Caprariis |
