Gain confidence in sweater knitting by taking the process step-by-step with MFY's My First Years Basic Sweater! Conquer your fear of making a sweater by knitting a basic baby sweater with us through the MFY Sheep & Wool weekend! You can start Friday with the Sweater Yoke Workshop, and progress to the Sweater Splitting for Sleeves Workshop on Saturday, and finish up with Sweater Picking Up for Sleeves on Sunday. Or pick a slightly slower pace from our weekend options and finish up in a BYOP class as you need time. During the Sweater Yoke Workshop we'll walk you through the creation of a top-down, seamless sweater worked in the round from casting on the collar, through gaining confidence in increasing your stitches needed to complete the yoke.
