Learn to knit basics
Hand Made Washcloths - In this beginners class Karen Jacobson will teach you how to cast on, knit, yarn over and bind off to create a homemade wash cloth. You bring yarn (4 1/2 oz. skein of sugar and cream 100% Cotton yarn) and needles (pair size 7 or 8, short ones are easier to work with) and you leave with the pattern and the know how to begin your own projects. This pattern can be easily converted to make other items, from table runners to scarves.
Hand Made Slippers and Baby Booties - Learn to knit and purl. In this more advanced class Karen Jacobson will review knitting basics (cast on, knit, bind off) and will teach you how to purl and make pom-poms to create a pair of homemade baby booties. You bring yarn (2 oz skein 4 ply worsted weight Cotton yarn) and needles (pair 10 1/2) and you leave with the pattern and the know how to begin making your own slippers. This pattern can be easily converted to make adult size slippers as well.

Hi, I can teach you the basics of knitting. knitting is a very enjoyable craft with a smooth repetitive motion which can be mastered more quickly than you may think. I can teach european style knitting as well as the traditional American method. Hope to see you very soon.

The most important thing for me is that my studans enjoy the process of learning to knit and have a good time while do it.
We start off with the basics, putting the stitches on the needle and the knit stitch.
The first thing is to get comfortable with the knitting process. When my students are feeling comfortable we learn the purl stitch (there are only 2 basic stitches in knittings and how you combine them makes up wall stitch patterns). Our first project will be a scarf.
After the basics are learned and my studets feel confident we move on to a more changling project and the possibilties are endless.
