Learn the basics of knitting in this five session class. Topics covered include the knit stitch, the purl stitch, casting on, and binding off. In the later sessions, those who wish may knit an easy scarf pattern. You need to bring: U.S. size 8 or 9 knitting needles (straight or circular); at least 400-600 yards light colored, smooth worsted weight yarn in wool or acrylic (no fuzzy or novelty yarn) ; an additional 400-600 yards smooth worsted weight yarn if you wish to work on a scarf; scissors.
