Upcoming Class: First Sweater From The Top Down

A great first sweater project using the Tappan Zee pattern. This short sleeved sweater is perfect for layering in winter or wearing for a little style in spring.  Skills needed to take this class - CO, comfortable with knitting and purling, BO.  You will learn how to read a pattern, lace, shaping, buttonholes and finishing.  


Michelle's Tappan Zee was knit using 4 skeins of Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool, color #52 hunter's green. 
Silky wool is a blend of 45% wool, 35% silk and 20% nylon with a gauge of 5.5 stitches per inch.  It's a soft lightweight yarn with a nice drape, perfect for lace patterns.
