Last Chance to Sign Up for Direct Your Own Doodle Sweater Class!

Direct Your Own Doodle Sweater Class starts this Saturday, October 11th with a mood board class! No need for yarn! No need for anything but a couple of ideas about what you want your sweater to look like and Laura is going to take it from there. I’m SO excited to start working on my Titanic Sweater mood board and start pulling colors!

Registration closes on Thursday, so if this sounds like a fun way to spend the next few months, I hope you join us!

We are taking our favorite show/movie or other inspiration and turning it into a sweater! This class will have two planning classes, one to learn to make a mood board, and another to use that mood board to make your sweater plan, purchase yarn, and design your own doodles if Pacific Knit Co hasn’t designed all of your perfect doodles yet! That is hard to imagine, but sometimes you need a lounging Jeff Goldblum doodle, right?!

Oct 11: Mood Board Making Class!
Oct 25: Mood board check in / yarn class / swatching / doodling!
Nov 15: CO and yoke planning 
Nov 22: Yoke check in 
Dec 6: Finish yoke! Separate sleeves & plan body
Dec 13: Plan sleeves / steek (optional!) 
Dec 20: Neckline / button bands 

We’ll also learn:

  • Gauge and sizing

  • Designing a top down yoke sweater from scratch with your measurements and gauge!

  • Adding a steek panel to make a cardigan (optional!)

  • When to add back neck short rows

  • Design your own all over color work or just color work yoke sweater

  • Reinforcing and cutting open your steek panels (optional!)

  • Picking up stitches for the neckline and button bands

  • Custom sleeve sizing

  • Custom body shape and length

  • Perfect yoke depth

Yarn: Any yarn weight will work for this class as we’ll be designing it based on your gauge!

So far 124 of you have filled out my survey about time zones and classes for winter - THANK YOU SO MUCH!
