Sweater Club 2025
The focus this year is exploring color with two pullovers worked from the top down.
We meet in the Classroom at 20085 Chagrin Boulevard at 10 am in person OR at 6 pm on ZOOM on the dates listed. Zoom Classes are recorded and can be viewed by clicking on the "video" links below. Prior year Sweater Club videos can be found on the Recorded Classes page.
There is no sign up or registration required. Participants can get a 10% discount on materials purchased for Sweater Club including the patterns. Call 216-230-9224 if there are questions.
Materials and sizes are listed in the patterns.
The first sweater, The Paul Klee Sweater by Midori Hirose, is worked in fingering weight yarn throughout. It features a circular yoke worked as stranded color work squares in up to 24 colors. The trickiest part is choosing colors for the yoke, so we have made it easier by putting together yoke kits of SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock and Blue Sky Fiber Woolstok Light. (Please note, there are no discounts on these kits due to the labor intensive nature of making them. The usual 10% discount can be applied to non-kit yarns, materials or the purchase of the pattern in the shop. Online customers should note what items are being purchased for Sweater Club in their Order Notes to be refunded the discount.)

Our second sweater is Susanna Kaartinen's EXP Sweater, a top down exaggerated raglan knitted in 2 color fisherman's rib in the round. This project also uses fingering weight yarn and would be a great way to use up leftover bits.
