Alyssum Sweater Knit-A-Long
Alyssum Sweater Knit Along every other Saturday from June 3rd - August 12th at Noon.
Our second summer knit-a-long is the stunning Alyssum Sweater by Tomomi Yoshimoto. This full on colorwork pullover has an all-over flower motif that is just lovely. It will be an heirloom for sure. Alyssum calls for one of two versions: one using DK or worsted weight yarn in two colors. search our yarn ideas for Alyssum here. There is also the option for a thinner weight version using a sport-weight yarn.
We will start knitting on Saturday June 3rd from noon - 2pm and meet every other Saturday until August 12th.
We request that you purchase your yarn from Maker+Stitch for this knit-a-long. Thank you. Knit-a-longs are unfacilitated (we will be knitting with you though!). We have help sessions available @ $5 for 10 minutes or punch cards for one hour of help (in ten minute increments) at $25.
