Air Conditioning Your Knitted Garments June 25, Saturday, 1 to 4 pm. You’ll learn how to take a plain knitted tunic pattern (which Julie will provide to class students) and maximize it for comfort by using , open work, drape, and insertion panels.

There will be some in class knitting, but this class will be more about seeing examples of the many possibilities for air- conditioning your knits. Her extensive handout will capture all this great information so that you can refer to it again and again.

Don’t miss this chance to learn from, and be inspired by, this very engaging teacher/designer. You will want to do the class homework to get the maximum benefit out of this class.
