Sticks and Some Yarn: Learn to Knit
April 6, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
$75.00
Instructor: KATHY ALUIA. I trace my passion for textile arts back to the hours I spent sitting on the floor underneath my great grandmother’s treadle sewing machine. Always happiest with needle, thread and fabric in my hands, I grew up creating my own designs, acquiring and honing my skills. I’ve had the honor and pleasure of spending more than 20 years teaching and facilitating classes in the full range of textile arts: quilting, sewing, embroidery, knitting, crochet, weaving and dyeing. My ongoing desire is to inspire people of all ages to play and create without fear, working from an organic and intuitive place.
During this three session foundation course students will build a basic knowledge of knitting. Learn to knit, purl, rib, cast on and bind off. We will acquire an understanding of the structure of knitted fabric and demystify gauge. Explore the English and Continental styles of knitting. Students will purchase a Materials Kit from the instructor which will include Cubit needles and a skein of wool/alpaca yarn. The Materials Kit fee will be paid directly to the instructor.
