Join us for the perfect sweater class!  The Great Falls Sweater by Pam Allen is a perfect sweater/tunic- you can wear it as a jacket, with leggings as a dress, and it has pockets!  Using chunky yarn, this sweater will knit up fast- in time for a gift or yourself!  This is a great class for a beginning sweater knitter as you will learn how to knit a top down, raglan sweater.  No seams!   If you'd like a bit of a challenge, try The Down East Pullover- it's done with chunky yarn, top down, with some cables and a cowl neck. 

Homework:  Choosing yarn and making a gauge swatch prior to the first class.  There are many chunky/bulky yarns to choose from, but Imperial Yarns Native Twist is a similar yarn to what is used in the Great Falls pattern (and makes a light, lofty fabric).  As it takes quite a bit of yarn for the tunic, colors may need to be ordered (takes 1 week).  For Downeast, can use Tundra, Misti Alpaca Chunky, or other chunky yarns.  Last day to choose yarn is November 4 so it can be ordered in time.
