YARNIVAL Sweater Seaming with Ann Budd on Zoom
Learn to seam sweaters from Ann Budd - an industry leading sweater maker!
Because they’re not comfortable sewing seams, many knitters only knit seamless sweaters from the top down. What many don’t realize is that seams can be a sweater’s best friend. They provide stability against stretching (especially across the shoulders and back neck) and they help encourage the body to hang straight. In this one-hour online class, Ann Budd will demonstrate the three basic seams used for joining sweater pieces—back, front(s), and sleeves. You’ll learn the Invisible Horizontal Seam (for shoulders), the Invisible Vertical Seam (for side and sleeve seams), and the Vertical to Horizontal Seam (for sleeve caps).
If you’d like to practice the techniques demonstrated, you’ll need worsted-weight wool or wool blend yarn in a light color, size 7 (4.5 mm) needles, a tapestry needle, and three homework swatches to represent the front, back, and sleeve of a sweater.
There is no required homework for the class, but if you would like follow along there is optional homework that will be sent out after you register for the class.
This is the perfect companion class for Barry Klein's Knit to Fit Class.
All YARNIVAL classes are on Zoom. You will have access to the recording for two weeks.
