Knit A Basic Sweater:
Sundays,
October 19, November 30,
& December 14
11 AM -1 PM

This pattern is a PERFECT first sweater to knit. You will learn circular knitting construction and assembly,  starting off by knitting a sleeve to check your knitting gauge. We will talk a lot about careful finishing so your sweater looks great. This class will span 3 months, and if you knit every day, you can finish it within that time frame. 
There are more classes available once this class is over, so you will not be abandoned!

This class will be held at Countrywool but taught in conjunction with Columbia-Greene Community College. Call them to enroll  (518)697-6370.
