Knitting for absolute beginners (2 sessions)

A knitting circle for complete beginners who are ready to be curious, make mistakes, and keep going! Start your knitting adventure by making a washcloth (a knitted square), a perfect project for practicing foundational stitches. 

In session 1, we'll cover casting on (putting your yarn on the needle) and the basic knit stitch. In session 2, we'll practice the purl stitch and binding off (taking your project off your needles). In between, you'll have a week to practice at home so you come back for session 2 with questions, beautiful mistakes, and maybe even some knit victories to share.

Audience:  teens and adults

Skill level: Absolute beginner

Supplies we'll provide: all tools and materials plus kind, patient instruction.

Supplies to bring with you:

1. Your curiosity and willingness to experiment
   
2. A face mask

Instructor:  

Kristina's philosophy of knitting is that it's all about the process, and therein lies the beauty. Despite being raised by an Irish mother and grandmother who knit all the time, she didn't catch the knitting bug until adulthood, when some midnight blue mohair yarn so bewitched her that she picked up some needles and made a sweater. She's excited to share the joy of knitting with you all!
