Sweater Theory on Zoom

Every summer we run free KALs every holiday weekend for those staying home and enjoying a "Knitcation." The KALs are usually sweaters that could be finished in a long weekend - but we do not judge if they are not! But there is a lot to know about sweater knitting before we grab out needles. This class is designed to help knitters come to these weekends better prepared and set up to wind.
