In 3 90 minutes sessions, you will learn all you need for the foundations of knitting using the American style or “throwing” method of knitting and purling. (Working yarn in the right hand.)
Included is a 100g hank of yarn and beginner knitting needles, and a PATTERN that includes knits, purls, and various stitch patterns.
Session 1: The knit stitch and casting on. After you learn the wonderful knit stitch, I will teach you a simplified version of the Long Tail Cast-On which anyone can do once you know the knit stitch. It sounds a little backwards, but that’s OK. I’ll cast on for you, and you will knit some rows. Then I’ll show you how to cast-on and you will practice that.
Session 2: A week later when you have knit 30-50 rows of knitting every row, we’ll build on that skill, and I will teach you to purl. Along with that, you will learn some new vocabulary in knitting. We will also practice your cast-on
Session 3: A week later when you have knit and purled 30-50 more rows, we’ll build on that skill and learn to decrease and increase. These 4 skills, knitting, purling, increasing, and decreasing provide the basics of all knit stitches and patterns. Depending on what you are comfortable with, I can teach you some easy stitch patterns like ribbing and basket weave.
Class size is limited to 4 people.
The price is 150 for 2 or more people.
