Day 1 (October 10): We'll kick things off by making our very own knitting needles, then learn how to cast on our first stitches, the foundation of every knitting project.

Day 2 (October 17): Building on what we learned, we'll practice our first stitches on a swatch, learning both the knit and purl stitches, the two building blocks used in almost every knitting pattern.

By the end of the workshop, young knitters will have the core skills and confidence to keep stitching on their own!
