Knitting has seen a resurgence and is bursting at the seams with fresh, modern designs to knit and wear with pride! Get started on the slow fashion path to creating your own hand knits in this 4-week series geared towards absolute beginners. 

Whether you’ve never picked up needles before or you’ve dabbled in the past and are in need of a refresher, this class will give you a solid foundation of the fundamentals of knitting. We’ll cover key topics including casting on, binding off, the knit and the purl stitch, plus how to reading a simple pattern, and unknitting and picking up dropped stitches so you’re able to fix mistakes when they happen (and they happen to the best of us). There will also be a short discussion on gauge and how to find patterns.
