YARNIVAL Advanced Measuring for Knitting Garments

All YARNIVAL Classes are taught via Zoom, are recorded, and registered students have access to a recording link that will expire 30 days after the class.

Class Description:
One of the biggest challenges in knitting garments is choosing the correct size on the pattern.  Unfortunately, we are not able to try the sweaters on before we begin!  And the only way to know what size to choose is to know what size you are AND how much ease you prefer.  We have taught measurement classes in the past, but this class has additional tools and information.  And... you should update your measurements annually (or more often)!  

Debbie and Molly are co-teaching the class with Diane as our special guinea pig.  Debbie is not only a fabulous knitter, but she brings years of sewing and garment making to the table.  She has also had to learn to make clothes that fit her because off the rack is not always the best fit!  Molly brings years of knitting, design, and custom fit classes to the table.
