Beginner Knitting
Knitting boils down to three essential skills. These are the cast on, knit stitch and the cast off. These three techniques make up the backbone of knitting. Master them and you’re officially a knitter. It’s that simple.
What you’ll learn:
- Knitting basics, like vocabulary and knitting materials
- How to cast on
- How to do the knit stitch
- How to bind off
- How to knit a garter stitch dish cloth
To knit you’ll need yarn and needles. New England Fabrics carry a great selection of both and you will receive 10% off when you sign up for the class.
Beginner Sock Class
These are worsted weight socks, which means that they’ll be warm, and work up quickly. They may mot be the socks that you want to wear every day, but I think that you’ll be a less discouraged sock knitter if you learn the basics on a project that you’ll finish quickly. Save your pretty self-striping sock weight yarn for your next pair.
You will learn:
- Short cuff, so it’s quick to get started learning ‘sock-y’ things
- No leg, same reason as above
- No need to keep track of ‘needle 1 and needle 2’ like some sock patterns….because everyone loses track
- Heel flap is worked in stockinette, no fancy pattern to remember
- Only one round to remember for gusset decreases, so you don’t need to keep track of what round you’re on
- Worsted weight goes fast!
This class is $75 for the 3 weeks long class. There is a $35 deposit for the class.
You will need to purchase worsted weight yarn and size 5 Double pointed needles in 6” length
You will get a 10% discount when you purchase your materials at New England Fabrics
