Class Name: Mondo Cables

Description: Ready for some big cable love? Join us in unraveling the mysteries of the twist… If you’ve made scarves and a simple sweater, here’s your next move.

In this class, you will learn some great techniques and elements that will take your skill set to the next level. Along with cabling, we will explore the various sections of the sweater and how they all add up to a successful whole. These patterns are unique in that there is little finishing involved; they are designed with special touches that are worked as-you-go to speed the wearing of your fabulous new creation!

We are totally excited about this and can’t wait to cast on with you! Come join us!
