I’m trying out a workroom style class for this knit, so if you have taken one of my virtual knitting classes before, things will work a bit differently with this sweater so please read carefully!

Because this sweater is so customizable and you can do so many things with it, I wanted to make sure each knitter could work comfortably at their own pace without having to keep up with a rigid structure and aggressive pacing to make sure we covered every aspect of the sweater before the end of the class. With this workroom style you will be able to join the group check in sessions to see other knitter’s work and be part of the group live, and you’ll be able to sign up for one on one sessions with me when you need help or have specific questions. You’ll also have access to a private group forum where you’ll be able to check in with fellow knitters, share your progress, get your questions answered, and be inspired by everyone’s progress.

With your workroom registration you’ll get:

• 3+ months of content starting with a kick off group class on Wednesday January 17th and ending with a workroom wrap up party on Wednesday May 1st - both from 6:30-8pm CT. The workroom forum will remain open for members of LauraAllyson.Party but will stop being as closely monitored on May 7th.

• 4 additional group check ins - Wednesdays January 31st, February 28th, March 20th, and April 3rd. All classes are from 6:30-8pm CT.

  • Group check ins will be recorded and shared with the group. These check ins will be available to stream forever

• 1 30 minute one on one classes with me you can schedule when you need it over our 3 month workroom. I’ll have weekday and weeknight registration options available! Additional one on one time can be purchased as well.

• The Princess Diana Black Sheep Sweater Planning Worksheet I created to make sure you plan and knit your sweater to your specifications

• My Black Sheep Sweater colorwork charts

• Access to a private forum at LauraAllyson.Party where you’ll be able to share pics of your progress and interact with other workroom participants

• A coupon code for 15% off your Kelbourne Woolens Scout or Camper sweater kit! I used Scout for my sweater but using Camper would make smaller sheep and be a fun modification. Any color combos and quantities of Scout or Camper qualify for the discount.

What we’ll be covering during this workroom:

• Using your gauge and measurements to create a perfectly fitting sweater

• Ladder Back Jacquard colorwork

• Duplicate stitch

• Adding steek panels for the armholes of a sweater exactly where you need them

• Steeking!

• Picking up stitches for the sleeves and neckline

Supplies (not included in the cost of the class):

• Yarn and needles to create the sweater for your desired size. You’ll be sent a yardage estimate chart as part of your welcome packet!
