Tuesday, September 20: Garter Scarf Beginners+ Free Workshop



Announcing our next Free Knitting Workshop! Join us on Tuesday, September 20th for an Absolute Beginning Knitting Workshop!  A friendly introduction to the absolute basics of knitting. Learn everything you need to make a simple, beautiful scarf.  This scarf is made using only the knit stitch! 



Project:  Garter Stitch Scarf
Date:  Tuesday, September 20
Time:  9:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Skill Level: Absolute Beginner/Intermediate.
Skills Required: None!
Techniques Taught: Material selection, long-tail cast on, the knit stitch & how to bind off.
Materials:  Worsted weight wool yarn, US #8 needles.

This workshop is suitable for Absolute Beginner Knitters. Absolute Beginners are Future Knitters who have not yet put ‘yarn’ to ‘needle,’ have neither ‘knit’ nor ‘purled,’ and don’t know the difference between ‘casting on’ and ‘casting off.’   Also, perhaps, Former Knitters who may have forgotten it all (you know who you are!).  We’ll help you choose your materials and tools, and teach you to cast on, knit, purl, and cast off.

Already have the basics down, but need a refresher? We can make one quick change to this project & learn to knit a cowl with a slit in it--as pictured above.  Don't stay away!

Pre-registration is required!  Please call the shop to save your spot! (717) 768-8007.
