I wanted to let you know that I made my first Vanilla Sweater and my first sweater ever! Your Course was absolutely wonderful. It took me step by step and I felt I COULD do this. Thanks so much and I look forward to knitting my next sweater. -Kimberly B

The Vanilla Sweater is designed using Rauma Finullgarn which is one of our favorite yarns in all the world. Created from 100% wool from Norwegian sheep and woollen spun in Norway, this yarn is light and warm, but at the same time is a hardy workhorse yarn, meaning it will last for years and get better with age. We’ve selected our best selling colors for you to choose from so it’s a low risk decision and you can’t go wrong.
The Vanilla Sweater Course is included in the Vanilla Sweater Starter Set. Corinne guides you through the steps of knitting the sweater with the following video lessons (available on demand).
Video Lessons include:Better than a Class! I loved this video. Who wouldn't want a private lesson with Corinne? I watched the video as I cast on for the sweater KAL and it gave me incentive to knit till I had completed each section that she covers in an episode. The camera was up close. Corinne took her time, made mistakes, fixed them extemporaneously all the while explaining and giving hints. -Molly

I love this kit and the color I selected is not one that I wear, but it has become a favorite. I am saving this project for the beginning of 2026. Still have 2 crochet blankets to finish for 2025, but am close. This will be the first sweater I have knitted. I tend to knit small accessories, so looking forward to branching out of my comfort zone.
I love the vanilla sweater starter kit, it literally takes the guesswork out of everything, get the kit and begin!!! My only complaint is that I wish this entire kit was made a bit easier to see for purchase, as I hadn’t realized it was below the basic kit .. and would have bought it from the start, so glad to have it all… this will be my second vanilla sweater
My kit arrived promptly. The kit did not contain stitch markers, needle, or eucalan as shown.
The yarn has a good feel and knits well.
Our knitting kits are specially curated with all the yarn and inspiration you'll need to complete your project
