Knitting Class. Learn How to Knit, Purl, and More.

NOTE:  This class is EVERY OTHER WEEK!

Students will learn how to knit in this beginners' class.   Knitting is not only a fabulous life-long hobby, but it is also a great way to express yourself with your own creations!  Imagine wearing a one-of-a kind hat or scarf that you knitted yourself!
Each week, students will learn a new stitch or stitch group and learners will progress at their own rate.  This class is structured as a workshop, where students will learn a new stitch or stitches and practice during class.  Mrs. Borton will demonstrate each stitch and then help each student to learn the new stitches.  The class will be completely hands-on.  
Week 1 - Students will learn how to do an easy cast on.  Students will learn to do the knit stitch.
Week 2 - Students will learn how to do the purl stitch and also how to do stockinette.
Week 3 - Students will learn how to do the rib stitch and its variations.
Week 4 - Students will learn how to do the double seed stitch.
Week 5 - Students will learn how to do a simple cable.
Week 6 - Students will learn how to do the single seed stitch and how to bind off.  
Since this is a beginners' class, no prior knowledge of knitting is needed.  Learners will start knitting on day one! 

Recommended Materials (but you may use any yarn and needles you have)
1.  One skein of yarn in a size 4.  This can be of any fiber content, but acrylic, acrylic-wool blend, or wool will be the easiest to use.  The yarn should be a smooth yarn, and not one that has a lot of bumps or loops.
2.   10" straight knitting needles in size 7 or 8.  Bamboo needles are easy for beginners to use but you may use whatever needles you have or want!
3.  small pair of blunt scissors


 ***Please note***  Students will progress at their own rate in class.  Some students will learn all the stitches and some students will want to keep practicing the basic two stitches.
