[Nfb-krafters-korner] Announcement for sweater class.

Tue Oct 25 15:53:59 UTC 2016

Hi Joyce, I am planning to use the Caron Simply Soft One Pound skein of 
yarn. That should be more than enough for your class.
I'm eagerly looking forward to the class next year.

Joyce,

If you move this class to another day, I will probably try to join in (fyi,
my knitting skills WAYYYYY out shine my feeble attempt at sewing, so I
should actually be able to keep up with this class <smile>).

I did put a lot of thought into this.  If you don't want to try that is your
choice.  Each person who signs up for this class needs to have knitting
needles and yarn ready first day of class.  You also need to keep up and try
to do it.

If you aren't going to try to do it, I suggest you don't bother taking the
class.  There will be homework and I will take questions at the beginning of
the last two classes to clarify what you needed to do between classes.

Everyone needs to come prepared to this class and try to accomplish between
classes so you will be ready to learn and try the next part of this class.

It is October now and the class begins February 1.  I will decide if I will
move this class so it isn't on Wednesdays, but I can't do Tuesdays.  There
is plenty of time for everyone to get their supplies.  1 skein of worster
weight yarn will be enough to make a sweater.  I need to check on the length
of circular needles, but I use size 8 needles.

Terry, I am thinking about offering a pull-over sweater class by email
because it takes a lot of knitting. But then I could do a separate class on
picking up stitches for neck ribbing or just picking up stitches. I have to
wait until I learn to do online stuff with my new device to put my January
classes up on website. Then I will get to February. If you have time, take
Joyce's class on the baby sweater. She might have some techniques that make
buttonholes easy. I'm hoping! Isn't learning from each other what this is
all about? Ramona

knitted from the neck down, but you do have a little seaming to do.  I do
like the idea that was given that if there is no Spring babies in your
future, then we can donate them.  I would like to give everyone a true
challenge and lets say see how many sweaters we can make from Feb. 1 to
August 1.  This is done with washable knitting worster and circular knitting
needles.  You must be comfortable with casting on and off, knitting and
Purling.  So you have time to learn these 4 things by February.  Don't have
to worry about sizing and I have a charity to donate them to, of course if
you want to donate them to some other place, that is up to you.
