Knit Picks Designer Nina is holding an 8 week online course on how to design your own sweater, knitting in the round from the bottom up. She touches on everything, from swatching, to adding design elements, to fiber reaction and the the importance of blocking your swatch. Of course, I would find this three weeks after I plunked down $155 for a 6 week knitting workshop at FIT (shakes her head in disgust). So far Nina has posted the third lesson and offers helpful pdf worksheets that you can print out and use to follow along with the lesson. I'm really looking forward to this since I've always wanted to create my own sweater design and have only knitted in the round so far. Anyone who's interested should check it out at: http://www.knitpicks.com/cfBlog/archives.cfm/category/sweater-class
They are also starting a Lace class tomorrow. I hope they offer many more interesting classes.
Until Later!!!!!
PS. I also picked up their Imagination Yarn in Fairy Dust. So pretty and soft to the touch.
