First Knitting Needles

Two-Day Beginner Knitting Workshop 

New to knitting? This two-day workshop is the perfect place to start! Designed for beginners, this course will teach young knitters the basics of this timeless craft from the ground up.

No experience needed. All supplies are included. The price is for both days of the workshop.

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!
