GUEST INSTRUCTOR: We welcome Sarah Peasley to Minnesota Knitters Days. Sarah is a designer, teacher and technical
editor for many knitting publications and books. She teaches at yarn shops and guilds, Vogue
Knitting and Stitches conferences across the US, and online through Craftsy.
CLASS: “Jean Frost Custom Jacket
Weekend” Sarah will guide us through the “7 essential
steps” to knitting a custom-fit jacket, using the techniques outlined in Jean
Frost’s Custom Knit Jacket book. Choose
a jacket from the book, or bring your favorite jacket/cardigan that you’d like
to knit. After taking each step with
Sarah, you will start knitting your jacket with confidence of a perfect fit. You’ll be making a sample jersey jacket,
specific to your body measurements.
Ease, armhole and neck shaping, sleeve construction, finishing and
lining are also discussed. There will be
some homework to prepare for this class, which will be sent before our weekend.
You’ll
be ready to knit your jacket with confidence of a perfect fit!
LOCATION
AND LODGING:
The
Miracle Lodge retreat and conference center was named after seven years of
construction, donations from fourteen states, and contributions from 1000
people and businesses. Twenty-seven beautiful rooms all fully furnished are now
being used and the word is spreading.
Our group will meet in the Riverside Room on the main level
of Miracle Lodge, which has excellent lighting for knitting. There is a beautiful fireplace in the
Riverside Room and a Fire Pit right outside our classroom door for an evening
fire to knit by.
Your room will be located on first or second floor of the
Lodge. The Dining Hall will serve lunch
and dinner each day during our stay, which is a short walk from the Lodge. Your morning breakfast will be on your own,
either in your room or the small kitchen right off our class room. There are coffeemakers, refrigerators and
