| Sweater Success Story X3 | | Kudos for "Not Just for Men" sweater students
Earlier this year, three students undertook the "Forks in The Road" sweater from the book The Best of Knitter's: Guy Knits.   Under the expert guidance of Sue. B. everyone reached the homestretch by the final class session, and left with the confidence to finish their projects on their own. Job well done!  | | Class Photo |
Watch for offerings of similar classes when heavy-sweater weather returns later this year.
