Beginning Knitting - August 8, 2025

9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Join Kate and Laila to learn the basic stitches you need to start knitting! You’ll learn how to knit, purl, cast on, and how to read a pattern. Come and learn a new skill.
Students will be asked to provide their own materials: knitting needles size US 5, 6 or 7, 16” circular preferred but straight needles are fine if that is what you have; worsted weight yarn (medium), wool or a wool blend preferred because cotton can be too stiff to learn with. Other helpful tools, scissors and a tapestry needle.
This course is for adults 18+.
