Whether you’re finally tackling that “project in time out\,” starting a sophisticated new challenge\, or need a rescue mission for a tangled mistake\, this class provides the professional eyes you need to succeed. You will bring in your own works-in-progress (WIPs) and conquer specific hurdles—from complex sweater fitting to intricate lace repair—leaving each session with the confidence and technical know-how to finish your projects with a professional flair. \nWhat You Will Learn\n\nAdvanced Troubleshooting: Learning how to read your knitting to identify and fix mistakes in complex lace\, cables\, or brioche without starting over.\nGarment Shaping & Fitting: Understanding how to adjust sweater patterns to fit your unique body measurements for a custom-tailored look.\nSpecialized Stitch Techniques: Mastering new textures and methods such as two-color brioche\, stranded colourwork\, or amigurumi construction.\nFinishing Excellence: Gaining skills in professional seaming\, picking up stitches for necklines\, and knitting socks or mittens with precision.\nProject Management: Learning how to organize multi-step projects so you always have a “path forward\,” even when the instructions get confusing.\n\nClass Details\n\nDate & Time: Every Friday Morning | 10:00 am – 12:00 pm\n\nJune\, 5th\nJune\, 12th\nJune\, 19th\nJune\, 26th\n\n\nLocation: Maker Savvy Classroom\nSkill Level: Beginner\, Intermediate\, and Advanced. (If you know how to cast on and do the basic knit stitch\, you can join this class!)\nInstructor & Qualifications: Amanda Schwabe. Amanda has been a staple of the Ottawa knitting community for over 10 years as an instructor. Beyond the classroom\, she is an experienced knitwear designer and pattern writer\, giving her a deep “under the hood” understanding of how every stitch and pattern is constructed.\n\nSpecial Information & Preparation\n\nRegistration & Payment: This class is billed in one-month increments. Registration for the new block begins June 5th.\nAttendance Policy: To ensure consistent progress and a dedicated learning environment\, drop-ins are no longer accepted. Students must register for the full monthly block in advance.\nPre-Class Prep: None required\, though it is highly recommended to bring at least two projects: your primary “challenge” project and a simpler “social” project to work on while the instructor rotates between students.\nWhat’s Included in Registration: Access to expert consultation\, specialized knitting tools for in-class troubleshooting (measuring tapes\, stitch markers\, and repair hooks)\, and a supportive community environment.\n\nRegister Here
