Beginning Knitting (April)
Instructor: Anne Derby
Wednesday early evenings: April 2, 9, and 16, 2025; 5:45-7:15 pm.
For beginners: learn to knit in the Continental style. We will use the Churchmouse "Stitch-Sampler Hand Warmers" pattern, which is included in the cost of the class.
In the first session, you'll learn the long tail cast on and the knit stitch. In the second session, the purl stitch will be introduced as we move from the cuff to the body of the hand-warmer. In the last session, you'll learn how to bind off and seam your mitts using mattress stitch in both garter and stockinette stitches.
Note: In order to keep moving forward, it is expected that knitting "homework" will be completed each week.
Materials needed:
- 110 yards of smooth, worsted weight yarn in a light color; we recommend Kelbourne Woolens Germantown
- US size 8 knitting needles

- Tapestry/darning needle for seaming and weaving in ends
Materials are available for purchase at the shop.
