Knitting 101: Day 1 of 2

November 8, 2021 @ 2:18 PM

$76

DATE To Be Announced: Your $76 class fee covers two day class!

This class is not for everyone — only BEGINNERS! If you have never held knitting needles or haven’t in many years, now is the time to jump on the knitting bandwagon and join the fun. All you need for this class is 3 Hershey’s Kisses (or comparable treats), a pair of scissors and your positive attitudes.

You will learn to “speak” knitting lingo and terms like cast-on, knit, purl, stockinette stitch, garter stitch and bind-off will be rolling off your tongue as these techniques transform into a scarf. Your class fee includes two sessions, detailed instructions with illustrations, needles, yarns (one for practice and another yarn for the scarf) and a pattern for the Sampler Scarf. The first week you will learn the basics and take home yarn to use for practice. Yes, there is homework! At the second session you will choose the yarn for your scarf and off you will go knitting a scarf or a cowl if you want a shorter accessory.

Don’t fret if you feel two sessions won’t be adequate; Knit Night is held every Tuesday from 4:30 – 6:30 PM and one of us is always there and happy to help. If you don’t care for the yarn included with the cost of the class, The Fiber Store has dozens of appropriate yarns for sale.

Instructors: Linda Boyle & Julie Koeppen (The Julindas)

Location: The Fiber Store, 3036 E Third Street, Bloomington, IN 47401 at College Mall, next to American Eagle and across from Zales. Checks can be mailed to The Fiber Store at the above address, paid in person during store hours, Friday – Sunday 12:00 noon – 4 PM, or using the PayPal link below.
