Thank you for joining in....

Stranded knitting with a Faroe Island motif will be featured on the sweater and hat and this class.  You will learn stranded seamless and circular knitting construction and assembly,  starting off with the hat, which becomes the gauge swatch for the sweater. 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.  Here is a message board set up to keep us all connected between meets where you can ask questions (you'll have to create a free account with Ravelry to access it):

There are more classes available once this class is over, so you will not be abandoned!

SIZING:  Measure a sweater or sweatshirt that fits you loosely.
Lay the sweater down and measure across the chest right at the underarm area.
(If you choose to make this a tunic length, measure the hip area instead).
Double that measurement and you will get the chest measurement for this pattern.
Choose the size closest to what you measured.
