BEGINNING KNITTING (B396)

B – Fine Arts

This is a beginning class for those who are interested in learning how to knit. If you have never knitted before and not sure you have what it takes, or would just like to try, this is the class for you. We plan to teach how to cast on and use three knitting stitches (garter, stockinette and seed stitches). Completion of a smaller scale project is our goal. Beginning supplies will be made available to learn with, or you are welcome to bring or purchase your own supplies. No specific needle size is required to start.

This offering meets for a total of 11 session(s).
