Sweater Knitting

Are you ready to go from Beginner Knitter to Advanced Beginner? Have you got your eye on a beautiful cardigan, but not sure if you have the skills? We can help get you there!

We have sifted through hundreds of cardigan patterns that are appropriate for advanced beginners, and chosen a dozen or so of the best. Some are easier, some a bit more challenging – you can choose your level of difficulty. The recommended yarns are available from our (Canadian) supplier, and can be ordered and received in good time.

We will also help you select an appropriate substitute yarn if you don’t want the recommended, so you can get the result you’re looking for. And we have so many yarns to choose from! Yarns purchased for your group project (including those that will be ordered) will be discounted for you at 15% off our regular price.

There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Then there will be instruction, tips and help with the current week’s tasks, with a chance to knit together for the rest of our two hours. You’re welcome to stay and knit all day if you want to!

Your materials pack (required) will include two pairs of circular needles of the sizes needed, crochet hook (for fixing mistakes), notes, and a variety of small, useful accessories.

Our first meeting will be for all participants to introduce themselves, select their pattern and yarn, get measured for their cardi, and generally prepare to get started.

The cost for this course is $40 for the materials pack (not including the yarn) and $100 for registration. The full course will be 6 weeks made up of 4 weeks of instruction, with an additional two weeks of knitting together to help you stay focused and give you chance to ask further questions. This should get you to a place where you can finish your project. Continued support will be available if needed.
