This course is for a novice or someone who would like a refresher in the basics of knitting. You will learn the basic techniques to get started which include: casting-on, knitting, purling, and binding off.

If you have needles at home, you can use these, but please check the size of your needles--should be a US 7 (US 8 could work too). Also, you may use straight needles if you already have them, but I guarantee you will be much happier with circular needles. Project pattern will be provided by instructor in class.
