Your New Favorite Knitting School W/ Rhonda Set [7zhabM2s]

Start your knitting journey with a deep dive! Maybe you're knit curious or at one point you learned to knit and purl, but now what? Knitting School is a great way to jumpstart your journey and/or refresh your skills.

Students will work through three projects over five weeks:

Week 1: Learn to cast on and knit with a simple cotton face cloth.
- Students will learn about yarn weight, knitting needles, gauge, holding the yarn and needles, knitted cast on, and the knit stitch.

Weeks 2 & 3:
- Students will make a cowl while learning to use a circular needle, read a pattern, knit in the round, continue using the knit stitch and learn the purl stitch.

Weeks 4 & 5:
- Students will make a Braided Cable Ear Warmer while learning provisional cast on, how to cable, keeping track of where you are in the pattern, using a life line, and three needle bind off. Cables are not as intimidating as they look!
