Before you buy

I have never knitted a sweater. Can I come?

Yes, if you can cast on, knit and purl. The first evening starts with a swatch, so the sweater comes out your size.

How many places are there?

Eight, one chair each at the long table. When a course is full, the newsletter hears about the next one first.

What if I cannot come after all?

Tell Védís as soon as you know. Your place can pass to the next knitter on the list, and the wool and the chart are yours to keep.
