My First Sweater Class- Saturday November 23- 1:00PM-4:00PM
$ 50.00

5 available

Have you ever wanted to knit your own sweater but didn't know where to start? 

This is a beginner sweater class for those that already know how to knit flat and in the round, and purl. 

You will learn how to start a sweater and work from the neck down. Then, you will learn how to separate for the sleeves  and continue on to the ribbing where you will bind off.

At the end you will have a small, toddler size sweater to give as a gift or treasure as your first sweater, and you will be able to knit simple sweaters from the top down.

The pattern is included in the class tuition.

You will need to bring with you:

  • Smooth worsted weight yarn
  • Needles of your preference for knitting in the round in a size appropriate for worsted weight yarn.

We are happy to help you pick out yarn and needles in store if you don't already have the recommended supplies.

There is a 10% discount on purchases on the day of class.

Cost: $50

Instructor: Emilie Petty

Emilie Petty learned to knit by teaching herself from a boxed set of book and needles. Once she figured out that knitting smooth yarn was preferable to learn on, knitting became an immediate addiction. Nothing was off limits for her. She believed that taking on a new project was a chance to learn something new. 

Emilie became a part of the Quixotic Fibers Family when, after visiting the shop three days in a row and joking about working here, Curtis offered her a job. We haven’t been able to get rid of her since.
