Welcome to the Knitting One!
Whether you're picking up needles for the first time or returning after a long break, this course is designed to provide you with a strong foundation in the art of knitting. Over the span of three sessions, you’ll learn essential techniques—from casting on and forming your first stitches, to completing a simple project with confidence.
Along the way, you'll become familiar with tools, terminology, patterns, and problem-solving strategies that will empower you to tackle future knitting projects with creativity and skill. Our goal is to help you discover the joy and relaxation that knitting can bring, all within a supportive and encouraging learning environment.
What to Bring:
One skein of worsted-weight yarn (recommended for size 8 needle) in cotton/wool, cotton/nylon or cotton/acrylic blend, or 100% wool.
Size 8 straight knitting needles
A starter set of knitting needles and yarn can also be purchased directly from Sarah. Please email her if you’re interested in purchased a starter set.
