October 4th and 11th, 11-2pm

Are you an adult or a creative kid (or know a creative kid) who has ever wanted to learn to knit?  Do you love having something to do with your hands?  Can you focus on a task for up to 30 minutes?  Fiber arts are really just fidget toys that end in cool stuff!  If that sounds good, this is the class for you!  We’ll cover the very basics from the very beginning.

In this class, we’ll learn knit stitches and purl stitches, casting on, and casting off to make some lovely coasters in garter, stockinette, and seed stitch.  We’ll talk about straight vs circular knitting needles, and we’ll have a lot of time to work together and troubleshoot.  We’ll also talk about picking your next project!

This class is starting from the ground up, so we’ll be knitting in the English, or “throwing” style.  If none of those words made sense to you, don’t worry, we’ll cover it all!  This class is the place to start – we’ll define all those terms and more.

If your knitter is under 12, they must have an adult with them for the duration of the class.  One registration fee is fine, though.
