is! Instructor: Jane Cost: $40
Elysium Tues., Sept. 14, 28, 6-8 pm A fun, easy knit that's even more fun to wear, Elysium is a boxy cardigan knit sideways in garter stitch
for a flattering vertical line. Short row shaping around the shoulders and neck means there's no seaming or
finishing, just work in the ends. The clever pattern (Ravelry.com download, $5) offers 10 sizes and
can be customized for any length or circumference. Cristi promises it's even cuter in person
than in the picture! Instructor: Cristi Cost: $40 Photo courtesy of Troubledog Designs
