Description: Our resident knitting expert Mel will get you started knitting, teaching you essential techniques like casting on, casting off, knitting and purling, and reading a basic pattern. You'll start by knitting a dishcloth, then level up to knit a basic cowl in the round. We will be using the Purl Ridge Scarf pattern by Stephen West. This class is for ages 17 and up.
