"Collage" Sweater Course

with Georgia Farrell

Placeholder Image

"Collage" is Georgia Farrell’s favourite sweater from her latest collection, Abstract Vol. 2—in fact, she might even go so far as to say it is her favourite thing she has ever created! It’s full of geometric pattern, subtle texture, and bold colour—a real statement knit.

But if that much intarsia seems daunting, or if it feels like the skills to make this sweater are out of reach, Georgia invites you to make it together with her. In this course, she will guide you through every step of the process, starting with how to build a personalised colour palette and decide on size and length options. She then covers all the essential knitting skills and techniques needed to create a sweater like this, including mastering the geometric intarsia textured pattern that makes it so unique, before finishing with the all-important finishing process.

Throughout the course, Georgia will share plenty of her personal tips and tricks, ensuring that by the end, you not only have a sweater that brings you joy but also you feel you have been creative in your knitting, learned new skills and refined existing ones, and enjoyed time spent diving deep into the craft—together.

Further details about materials and the course are provided once you have registered.
