Class Description:
Learn to knit in this introductory class designed for beginners. We will focus on the foundation of it all, the knit stitch, and use this building block to make a pair of simple fingerless mitts. We will also cover holding your needles and yarn, reading a basic knitting pattern, casting on and binding off your project, and some simple finishing skills. This class will meet for two 2-hour sessions, with homework in between.
Supply list for class:
- 100 yards of worsted weight yarn
- Select a yarn that has a smooth finish, nothing too fuzzy, and avoid very dark colors like black or navy blue
