In this workshop we will give an overview of knitting practices and terms, and students will learn one of the
two basic stitches used in all knitted projects. You will learn to cast on (put the required number of stitches on
the knitting needle), master the basic knit stitch, join yarn, bind off stitches, use finishing techniques to complete
the project and learn how to correct simple mistakes. You will also learn about needle sizes, different weight yarns
and how to read a yarn label. For the class project we will knit coasters in a garter stitch pattern to be felted at home.
There will be sufficient yarn to knit several coasters or a matching hot pad, if desired. After completing the class, students
will have acquired the skills to make a simple garter stitch scarf at home. We will provide a pattern for the scarf and
students may purchase yarn and begin to knit the scarf in class if they wish to do so. A basic knitting book, notebook,
yarn and needles will be provided and are included in the materials fee.
Class Size: 8
