Welcome to Knitting Two! Whether you're ready to move forward after a beginner class or getting back in the practice of knitting, this course is designed to continue building on the foundations of the art of knitting.
During the three sessions, we'll get you up to speed with the basics and you’ll learn multiple new techniques to move your knitting to the next level, from alternative cast-on methods, to learning to shape your knitting for more advanced projects. Along the way, you'll become familiar with tools, terminology, patterns, and problem-solving strategies that will empower you to tackle future knitting projects with creativity and skill. We’ll apply all this to knit a fun neck shawl! Our goal is to help you to continue to discover the creativity and joy that knitting can bring, all within a supportive and encouraging learning environment.
What to Bring:
One skein of worsted-weight yarn (recommended for size 8 needle) in cotton/wool, cotton/nylon or cotton/acrylic blend, or 100% wool.
Size 8 straight knitting needles
A starter set of knitting needles and yarn can also be purchased directly from Sarah. Please email her if you’re interested in purchased a starter set.
