Sweater 101| Make Sweaters that Fit

Master Teacher and Author,
Cheryl Brunette,

started knitting over 50 years ago because it was safer than embroidery. She has helped thousands of knitters, worldwide, learn a wide variety of skills.

In 1985 she started the Marrowstone Knitting School where she taught hundreds of students on site. In order to offer her classes to more knitters than were able to travel to an island in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S., she made them portable. In 1988 she hired a professional producer and made three popular video classes for the BOND knitting frame. The videos and her knitting articles during the late 80s and early 90s were distributed in the U.S., U.K. and Canada.

In 1991 Sweater 101 was published as a "Workshop in a Folder" by Patternworks and was in print for 15 years. Patternworks also published Finishing 101, another video knitting class, primarily for hand knitters.

Cheryl has taught middle and high school English, edited books, edited stories for a news agency in downtown Seoul, Korea, managed a Youth Hostel in the Pacific Northwest, toured as a singer with a Big Band, raised beef cattle, lived on three continents and done a lot of other things. She has spent the past few years substitute teaching and studying video production. She wants to make a documentary film before she dies and has started gathering footage.

The Marrowstone Knitting School no longer exists, but its legacy continues with Sweater 101.
