The idea of knitting a sweater is daunting to some. This class explains what is important for you to know -- how to match your body to a pattern or a pattern to your body. Among the issues that will be discussed are gauge, short rows, adjusting patterns and more. Yes, there is math involved, but it will be explained in an understandable way. By the end of the class you will have a "map" of your body that will set you on the path to knitting a sweater that actually fits! This class is designed for any level of knitter that has never knit a sweater or who thinks their sweater knitting could be improved.
