Knitting is an enjoyable, social, and mentally enriching hobby. Plus, you get to wear or gift the results of your effort when you finish a project. Yarn comes in a gorgeous assortment of different colors and fibers, and as you knit, you get to create many types of textures. Who wouldn’t want to cast-on and give knitting a try!

The project we make in my learn to knit class is a cowl where we repeat stitches to create mastery and muscle memory. After nine years of teaching, I have found this to be the most successful way to learn to knit.

Skills covered in the class are the knit stitch, the purl stitch, long-tail cast-on, knitting in the round, reading a pattern, reading your knitting, picking up dropped stitches, binding-off, weaving in ends, finishing, and a general understanding of yarn and gauge.
*Yarn needed for the class is 3 skeins of Alpakka Ull from Sandnes Garn or 2 skeins of Ultra-Alpaca from Berroco, a US #8 24inch circular needle, and a size G (4mm) crochet hook. 

*Supplies need to be purchased from Wasatch and Wool Yarns, but class participants will receive a 10% discount on non-sale supplies. They will also receive a 10% discount on the final day of class. We recommend that needles are purchased from Wasatch and Wool as there are significant differences between needle brands. Participants not using yarn from Wasatch and Wool will be charged an additional $30.

*Classes, if cancelled 10 days before the first day of class, can be exchanged for a future class only. We enforce this policy on behalf of our teachers who have committed their time and expertise. There are no exchanges or refunds for classes cancelled less than 10 days from the first day of class.
