Want to knit your first garment but feel overwhelmed? We'll take you on a step-by-step journey of your first sweater from swatch to block! We will be knitting the Lento by Jonna Helin and will guide you through the pattern, starting with a 1 on 1 shopping & yarn selection to help you pick the perfect pair for your garment goals.

For this class, you must know how to cast on, bind off, knit and purl. Meant for adventurous beginners and up. Sign up here!
