Stargazer KAL

Stargazer KAL

 

When:          

October 24 – November 21, 2024

 

What:           

Stargazer is a gorgeous new pattern from the Berroco Design team that uses a solid color of Wizard as the main color and a color changing Wizard for the colorwork. The sweater is a top-down, in-the-round, long-sleeved, crew neck, knit sweater that incorporates stranded colorwork throughout the yoke and lower sleeves. We will help you with sizing, colorwork, customizing (if necessary), and more! Experience with knitting is required. We don’t necessarily recommend this pattern for your first sweater UNLESS you have done stranded colorwork in other patterns before. Finished bust sizes are 35.75”-67.75”. Take your actual measurement, add 2-4”, and choose the closest size to that number from the finished sweater measurements.

Yarn:            

The solid colors of Wizard are new this fall and are really opening up pattern possibilities. We have a ton of Wizard in both the solid and variegated in stock but can always order if we run out of your preferred color. We also have another couple new Berroco yarns – Hearthside and Millstone Tweed – that would work. Hearthside will give you the same loft as the Wizard, but it comes in heathered neutral tones. This could be really stunning. The Millstone Tweed will work gauge-wise, but the sweater will be heavy!

                    

Cost:             

This KAL is free to participate in, but you must purchase your yarn from us specifically for this KAL in order to join.

 

Meetings:      

We will meet four times for us to help you with any questions or problems you may be having! Before the first meeting, please have your gauge swatch completed using the actual needles you will be using for the sweater. All meetings are from 4p-6p:

                     Thu, Oct 24 – cast on party

                     We will not meet Oct 31 because I like to pass out candy 😊, but you can come to social fibering from 1p-4p if you need help!

                     Thu, Nov 7 – secrets of colorwork

                     Thu, Nov 14 – separating for sleeves and working the body

                     Thu, Nov 21 – put armhole sts back on the needle and work the arms

 

We will post any tips we come across in our Facebook Group “Threadbender Yarn Shop –Alongs”. And we encourage everyone to share pictures and questions.
