A Brand New Class, A Brand New Sweater (or sweaters!)
I’ve been hard at work on a new idea for a video sweater class, and not only would it be wonderful to see a variety of sizes knit up for the launch, but I’d also LOVE to test out an idea for a custom spread sheet for creating your own sizes.
All testers chosen will use their own yarn, or order one of the KAL yarns (Valley Hawley or Tahki Whistler). You will keep your own sample.
If chosen, you’ll be provided with a tester agreement with more detailed information on photos and timing. Testers should provide a finished photo of the sweater being worn (not just on a dress form.) This can be on you or on the person you are knitting
WHAT:
This fall I will be launching a new video sweater class on education.pattylyons.com. This will be a bit different than any other class. There will be two options: NOTE: Only open for 48″ – 61 1/2″ / 122 – 156 cm
