My First Sweater Workshop (Sept – Nov Series)

Have you been dreaming of a handmade sweater, but felt like the techniques for the task were a little too scary to take on alone? This workshop series is for YOU!

Open to both knitters and crocheters alike, you will be guided through the fundamental steps for understanding sweater construction from pattern selection to fit and finishing!

Requirements: It is necessary for participants to feel a degree of confidence with their craft, as garments require a variety of skills. Understanding how to cast on/create foundation chains, make the most common stitches, increase/decrease, etc. will be essential for making the most out of each session. New concepts will be introduced along the way, but you should be comfortable with all foundational skills and techniques.

What’s included?

• 5 Personalized coaching/instruction sessions (See schedule below.)
• Project pattern (selected from options in class #1)
• 10% discount on all supplies and materials to complete your first sweater (knit or crochet)
• Drop-in support during regular store hours for the duration of the series

Class size is limited to a maximum of 6 participants.

PLEASE REVIEW : Classes/Workshop Booking Policy (Below)

Advance payment is required for classes to ensure they are guaranteed to run.

Classes are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Class registrations are processed through our website, so we can ensure that everyone gets a fair chance at the awesome class they’ve got their eye on.

If you need to cancel, please provide at least 48 hours notice. We will gladly offer equal credit towards another class or for products available through The Thoughtful Artisan. We know that ‘life happens’, so please contact us as soon as possible via email to communicate a cancellation. Please note, however, that specific credit arrangements need to be discussed over the phone or in person.

Cancellations occurring with less than 48 hours notice are not eligible for a credit. Our classes proceed based on enrolment. Last-minute cancellations have a negative impact on future class offerings, and also prevent us from offering the vacant spot to someone else who may be waiting in the wings.

If you need to miss a class that has more than one session, please let us know as soon as possible. Occasionally there are options for you to attend your missed class next time that class is offered (if the class is not full), and in some cases we may be able to offer a one-on-one appointment (for an additional fee) for you to make-up the class. However, please note that we do not guarantee that you will be able to make-up your class, especially if the class is being taught by a guest instructor.

If The Thoughtful Artisan ever has to cancel a class, we will contact you as soon as possible to make arrangements for re-booking or store credit in the form of a gift certificate. This situation occasionally arises when a class does not reach the minimum number of participants to cover the cost of offering the class (usually three students). Sometimes the class may have to be cancelled because the instructor has fallen ill or has a family emergency. We do our best to ensure all classes run as scheduled, but if a class must be cancelled, please rest assured the resolution will be handled quickly and professionally.
