Focus on Fit with Valerie
Valerie Robinson is an experienced knitter with many sweaters and garments successfully completed and proudly worn. She uses the knowledge passed down from her grandmother, who was an accomplished tailor and dressmaker, to ensure a good fit. She says you can knit to accommodate your curves by taking measurements and being thoughtful about pattern construction and adjustments. Join Valerie for a day of learning how to take measurements - for yourself or others - and a discussion about picking the right pattern or making alternations. After this class, you will have the tools and the knowledge to knit a sweater that really fits! This is a group class - fit and shape can be difficult to discuss, so let's create a safe space to figure this out together and have some fun doing it!
This class meets at 9 am with a lunch break. Then continues until 3 in the afternoon.
Bring: A sense of adventure and something to take notes! You will receive printed materials and a worksheet with your own measurements. Wear comfortable clothing that is not too bulky, suggest either your best-fitting bra or a tank top with support. Bring a shirt or sweater that you like for the way it fits you.
