KNITTING Beginner

Knitting is a time-honored tradition in many cultures—and a relaxing, fun, and practical hobby for modern crafters! After mastering the basics, you'll soon be able to make beautiful hats, scarves, blankets, garments, and even toys! This introductory course is designed for beginners with little to no previous experience. We'll discuss different yarns and knitting needles, and you'll learn the basics, including how to cast on, make knit and purl stitches, read a pattern, make a gauge swatch, bind off, and more! Attendees will choose a beginner project and purchase appropriate yarn later in the class. A $12 material fee includes a pair of straight, size 8 (5mm) knitting needles, tapestry needle, and practice yarn, provided at first class.
