Whether you need a refresher or you’ve never picked up knitting needles before, we’ve got you covered! Students will focus on how to tie a slip knot, casting on (getting the stitches on the needle), and the knit stitch. Then we’ll touch on the purl stitch to give you the basic foundation to knit any beginner pattern. We’ll also go over how to cast off (take your project off your needles) so you can finish your project at home.Everyone will begin by choosing:
• Project: either a washcloth or a straight scarf
• Yarn: various types and colors will be available
• Tools: the correct type for the selected yarn and project
Participants will take home a pair of straight knitting needles, a skein of yarn, and printed handout references, along with the knowledge to start knitting basic, rectangular patterns. Come with all your knitting questions and take home the confidence to begin knitting on your own.

Community Instructor: Annie Johnson
Annie grew up in an arts & crafts household, learning to crochet at 7 and knit at 14. She has honed most of her knowledge through trial and error, observation, and decades of repetition. She has been teaching for over 10 years and loves to share the joy of fiber crafts with anyone interested, from preschool to retired. Her favorite parts of teaching are witnessing a student's ah-ha moment and seeing them explore the hobby in their own way.
