In this beginner knitting class, you’ll
learn all about yarn and gauge. You’ll learn
to knit, purl, cast on, and bind off. You’ll
also learn basic finishing techniques. Beginners
will learn the Continental method of knitting.
Continental knitting
is much faster, more ergonomic and provides for
more consistent, even tension. Continental knitting
can also be done more efficiently when you are knitting
in small spaces such as on the train. Note:
on class Mondays, the Shop will open at 6:15 p.m.
$60 per student plus materials. |
