 Cocoknits
Julie Weisenberger of Cocoknits has created a top down, seamless
sweater making system that imitates the look of a set in sleeve. It is
a perfect technique for enjoying a fiber while making a quick, simple,
classic sweater.

Sometimes seamless sweaters suffer from lack of structure that

causes them to lose shape. Julie Weisenberger has conquered this
problem by adapting the English Tailored Shoulder to hand knitting.
Her techniques give your sweater good bones, providing structure
and support in the critical shoulder area.

The goal of this class is to get you comfortable with the Cocoknits
basic sweater system and help you see how you can easily make
small modifications to get the sweater you want. Julie's methods
will help you think about gauge in a new way, knitting yarns at looser
gauges than the ball band suggests. There will be sweater options at
3, 4, and 5 stitches per inch.
