New On Demand Class: Atlantica!
If you’re thinking to yourself, didn’t I just get an email about a new on demand class like last week?! You’re not wrong! I’ve been on an absolute TEAR lately. And I’m so glad it’s over because I’m VERY sick of watching videos myself! haha
This will be my last on demand class launch until January 1st after I released all 3 of my Jaunty June classes over the past few weeks, too!
(If you missed those, they are Rollike, Pressed Flowers, and Nougat)
Hopefully that gives you enough to do for the next few months, but if not, I’ve still got a few spots open in my live classes starting in November.
Alright let’s get down to it! Atlantica!
In this on-demand class, we’ll work through Atlantica by Audrey Borrego step by step, breaking down the lace and textured stitch pattern with shortcuts and helpful tips to make knitting it as easy as possible, including bobble substitutions! With nearly 3.5 hours of step-by-step video instruction, we'll take our time with the techniques that make this sweater special, from swatching and reading the stitch pattern to shaping, finishing, and everything in between.

Let’s knit Atlantica together!
In this on-demand class, we’ll work through Atlantica by Audrey Borrego step by step, breaking down the lace and textured stitch pattern with shortcuts and helpful tips to make knitting it as easy as possible, including bobble substitutions!
With nearly 3.5 hours of step-by-step video instruction, we'll take our time with the techniques that make this sweater special, from swatching and reading the stitch pattern to shaping, finishing, and everything in between.

We'll Start With the Most Important Part: Your Plan
Before you start knitting your sweater, we'll talk about gauge, measurements, ease, and choosing your size.
You'll get a sizing worksheet to help you look at the pattern's finished measurements, compare them to your own measurements, and make a plan before you cast on.
We'll also spend time swatching—not just to get the right number of stitches, but to make sure you understand how to knit the stitch pattern and that you're happy with the fabric you're creating.
The Stitch Pattern Doesn't Have to Be Scary!
Atlantica looks complicated, but once you understand what's happening in the stitch pattern, it becomes much more manageable.
We'll break down the lace, cables, twisted stitches, and bobbles, talk through the chart, and practice the techniques you'll use throughout the sweater.
You'll be able to pause, rewind, and revisit any part of the class whenever you need to.
