If you have wanted to attempt your first sweater project, this is the perfect opportunity! 

This class will feature Ayami by Isabell Kraemer. Ayami is a pullover sweater which is worked seamlessly from the top down. The lovely yoke features cables. If you’ve never worked cables before, you will be fascinated to learn how easy they are to create. They will elevate the look of your sweater, and you just might find you love the compliments you will receive.
