Meeting Brenda was everything I hoped it would be!
The class was great - Advanced Top Down Raglan with a Difference. I don't have much experience with sweaters, but how could I not take a sweater class from the Lady that tells us about 'Today's Sweater'?
The class was composed of 15 people, some of which had never heard of Brenda until they signed up for the class, very strange to me. Most seemed happy to take the class, any time you can get help making something as big aas a sweater that is such an investment for good yarns, you should take it.
I say Most purposefully. There were Babara Walker readers in the class that were a little vocal, "How is this different from Babara Walker?" I don't know, neither did Brenda. But I can pretty much guarantee that Babara Walker does not have my body.
What I appreciate is the help with measurements and the personalization! I can now, almost confidently, measure my target and adjust other patterns, or create my own, to fit ME! We talked a little in class about signs of an ill fit: bat wings, extra flaps in the arm pits, making changes for your bust if it is significantly different from your back measure. I know this will make a difference.
Brenda has made TONS of sweaters, following other peoples patterns, and knows first hand when and why the knitter ends up dissatisfied with the end product.
Thank You Brenda Dayne.
