Class Details:
Have sweaters in your head, and wonder how to make them a reality? Look no further! In this class you’ll spend a full day with Amy and learn how to make any sweater you can imagine. This design intensive course covers both the “how” of sweater design and the “why”: • Different sweater construction styles, and how to work the math for them o All-in-one constructions o Raglans o Drop Shoulders o Yokes o Set-in Sleeves • Different neckline shapes and trims, and using those in combination to achieve the look you’re after • Adjusting body shaping for various effects • Incorporating stitch patterns, edge treatments, and more • Matching fabric and materials to silhouette This class is aimed at adventurous sweater knitters who are ready to take the next step. You should have completed a few garments, have questions and design ideas in mind, and be ready to explore. Technique Requirements: Knit/purl; cast on/bind off; increase/decrease; basic finishing techniques, have knit a whole garment
Homework:
It’s very helpful for students to have some fabric samples on hand as we discuss fabric as it relates to design. So bring in some swatches you love, if you have them handy! (This is optional, though, so if you don’t, don’t worry about it!)
Supplies for Class:
Spare paper, pencil, and a calculator.
