Cast on! This class will walk you through the basics of knitting and purling, reading a knitting pattern, understanding yarn and needles. We start out with a simple scarf, learn how to fix those mistakes, and finally, with finishing your project. No previous knitting experience required.
Materials Needed: straight knitting needles US#7 or US#8 or 16" US#7 or US#8 circular knitting needles; smooth lighter colored worsted weight yarn (approx. 200-yard ball). Students should also bring basic knitting tools: scissors, tape measure, tapestry needle, pencil, paper. Supplies may be purchased anywhere; however, a student discount and expert assistance will be provided at Fiber Creek in Prescott.
