Learn how to make a soft, chunky blanket using just your fingers and oversized yarn—no knitting needles, no stress, no experience required. Whether you’re brand new to fiber arts or just looking for a relaxing, creative project, finger knitting offers a stress-free way to make something beautiful and functional. In a short amount of time, you’ll transform plush yarn into a cozy, statement-worthy blanket that’s perfect for your home or as a heartfelt handmade gift.
The class will be led by Alberta Boulkhouatem. Alberta believes knitting is a powerful tool for unwinding and maintaining focus, especially beneficial as she manages her neurodiversity. Her goal as an instructor is to make knitting fun and accessible, helping every participant leave with a beautiful handmade item and the confidence to keep creating.
