Course Description

Knitting
 

 

This course is designed to teach the basics of knitting – including those knitters that might need a little refresher course. Whether you have just a little or no knowledge of knitting – this course is for you. Seven lessons provide history, discussion of the tools and how to read and understand patterns and color charts. There are four projects in all – including three designed just for the beginner! The fourth project carries you through three lessons adding to your abilities with each new chapter. This allows you to build your skills and to learn more than just the basics.

After the basics are addressed and you feel comfortable with knit and purl, the final three lessons teach the knitter how to add color and texture through varied yarn and stitch instructions. The course is arranged to use simple tasks to improve your newly acquired or refreshed skill set. They are easy to understand and easy to replicate.

Pictures are provided along with step by step written explanations. Consistent knitting lingo is used to throughout, so there is no need to re-learn your lessons each time. This makes it easier and more fun for you to learn to knit.

Learn from the best in just a few days you will be ready to tackle all kinds of new knitting adventures.
