Sweater Knitting Smarts with Kate Atherley
About Sweater Knitting Smarts with Kate Atherley
this class is all about helping you make a better garment by teaching you how to make great choices. We’ll start with tips for choosing a good pattern, through to properly identifying what size to make, to finding the best yarn. We’ll have an honest discussion about the issue of gauge, and share tips for ensuring that the knitting is fun and the result fantastic. Along the way we’ll talk about how to deal with unclear and confusing instructions, and answer a lot of frequently asked questions about the patterns and the process.
