Limited to 6 participants

Experience Level - Intermediate. Students should be able to knit & purl confidently.

Ever wear one of your sweaters and think "I wish I had made this a cardigan?" This class is for YOU! It does not matter if you planned ahead or decide after the fact - cutting your knitting is terrifying but Alissa has a plan to make it MUCH less scary. 

We are going to knit a basic tube of fabric before class & during class we will cover different ways you can secure your stitches & cut the piece to create any shape.
