About the workshop:
Being able to recognize the need for, and execute, modifications is the key to getting a bespoke fit. But many knitters come to the craft without a background in sewing or tailoring, and aren’t even aware of what’s possible. This three-hour class for knitters teaches the basics of getting a great size and gives them a tour of what’s available.
Objectives • Understand why your sweaters might not have the fit you expected • Learn to decode a schematic and relate it to your own measurements • Understand what modifications CAN be made, and make informed choices about which ones will impact fit
Class Materials • Handout with key points that attendees can refer back to • Resource sheet with places to find more information to execute modifications and learn more about fit
Participants will also have the opportunity to bring in a sweater to have their fit assessed, and will have the chance to have their measurements taken.
