The Make-a-long from 2023 focused on knitting top-down, stranded colorwork yoke sweaters.
Overview: Rather than have classes be on one specific pattern, they will be on a series of topics related to top-down colorwork sweaters. The workshops will be a combination of talks from the instructor on that day's topics, a question and answer time, and working with students on their projects wherever they find themselves. For example, even if you have not knit through your colorwork yoke, you may still want to attend the workshop on sleeve separation. Assistance is offered as best available in virtual formats.
