You’ll learn:

• How to analyze project photos to see how sweaters fit on different body types
• How to read/search user notes to identify helpful modifications

• How to use Ravelry’s filters to compare sizes, yarns, and gauge outcomes

• How to use project pages as your personal knitting “journal”

We’ll also touch on how to find and follow your favorite designers, locate test-knit threads, and use community discussions to deepen your sweater-knitting knowledge.

Jane will serve herbal tea and share her favorite tricks for using Ravelry as a research and planning tool — helping you make informed choices before you even swatch.
