April 7 & 14 • Tuesdays, 1:00–3:00pm • $50 per student • Kits Available • Limited to 6 students
Ready to knit your first real project? This two-session workshop is perfect for the brand-new knitter and anyone looking for a satisfying, gift-worthy project. You’ll leave with a lovely hand knit scarf and the skills to keep going.
We’ll cast on together and work through the knit and purl stitches–the two building blocks of virtually every knitting pattern. By the end of the session, your scarf will be underway.
You’ll learn how to add a new skein of yarn and what to do when you drop a stitch –two essential skills for every knitter. We’ll finish by casting off, or if you need more time, you can visit during the Designated Knitter drop-ins on Wednesdays when you are ready.
Materials:
· Approximately 450 yards of Aran or worsted weight yarn.
· US size 7 needles (or size appropriate for your yarn)
· Stitch marker
· Yarn needle
Most students will continue knitting at home between sessions and are welcome to bring their scarf to any Designated Knitter Drop-in for help along the way.
Registration in advance is required. Bring your own handspun or purchase at the Fiber Palace. Yarn and needles are available for purchase at Magpie & Ewe.
