BEGINNING KNITTING CLASSES

If you are new to knitting and want to learn or if it has been a few years since you have picked up yarn and needles, these classes are a great way to get into knitting.

INTRODUCTION TO KNITTING

In this introduction to knitting, you will learn how to start knitting (knit, purl, cast-on, bind-off) by making a sampler using bulky weight yarn.  For those who don’t have time for a full beginning class, this will get you up and knitting or will refresh your knitting skills from years gone by.  By Cheryl Murray.
