Intrepid Sweater Brigade IV
|
Camaraderie, technical support, tips and tricks, and a finished garment - no wonder it's our most popular project-based group!
Running from January 25 to March 29, this workshop is designed for crafters with a solid grasp of fundamentals who want to make their first sweater. If you’re a more experienced crafter who has been burned in the past but want to make your first successful sweater, this is for you, too! If you need assistance above and beyond typical drop-in capacity (for example, you need one-on-one help with stranded colorwork), we’ll be happy to make arrangements to do a private lesson at your convenience.
Patterns
We’ve chosen these patterns because of their size range, user-friendly formats, popularity on Ravelry, trust in the designers, and versatility/adaptability for all skill levels. (All pattern links before will open in a new window.)
First-time-sweater-knitters in the Intrepid Sweater Brigade are encouraged to choose one of the following sweater patterns, all designed by Tin Can Knits. Additionally, these are all part of The Simple Collection, which are free and provide tons of online support and tutorials; they're also available in the free Tin Can Knits app, which allows you to select just the information for the size and yarn weight you're making the sweater in!
First-time-sweater crocheters in the Intrepid Sweater Brigade are encouraged to choose one of the following sweater patterns:
Yarn
Customers who sign up for the Intrepid Sweater Brigade may choose yarn from the shop’s current inventory or place a special order for their sweater’s worth of yarn - and get a 15% discount! Feel free to come in and peruse our vendor catalogs, and we’ll help you select just the right yarn for what you want to make. (Please note - to get your sweater started at our swatch/cast-on party on January 25, you’ll need to make your special order request no later than Tuesday, January 14 at the close of business.)

Workshop Meetings
- The Intrepid Sweater Brigade will meet on Saturdays at 3 PM from January 25 through March 29; there will be no meeting on Saturday, February 15.
- All participants need to attend the workshop meetings on January 25 and February 1; these will be focused on measurements, gauge, and swatching, which are critical to the outcome of your project. Since these are help-intensive sessions, we will be charging $10 / person for each meeting ($20 total).
- All other sessions are social / help sessions and are "pay what you can" - if you find value in what you learn through the Intrepid Sweater Brigade that day, you're welcome to leave a payment amount of your choice at the register at the end of class to support Lindsey and the shop.
