OTHER UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

Jacqueline Fee’s Sweater Workshop

In this two hour lecture, knitters will be made aware of the possibilities and the advantages of knitting “on their own.” This method of seamless sweater construction allows knitters the freedom to work to their “own” gauge with any yarn and to create garments of their “own” designs and neckline styles in any size. The result is freedom from pattern constraints and sewn seams. The talk is coupled with many show/tell examples of sweaters worked in both millspun and handspun yarns.

Saturday, March 20, 2010
1:00PM – 3:00PM
Cost: 2 Hours Session - $75.00
