Baltimore, MD Knitting Lessons

With the knitting lessons, we'll start out learning how to prepare your piece, read basic patterns, learn how to cast on and off. We'll go through the basic stitches (knit and purl), and how to use them to make a scarf.

During this class you will become familiar with the basics of knitting. You will learn how to cast on and bind off. How to make hats and scarfs etc.

I also am a textile artisan. My love is doll-making, in the Waldorf style. I teach knitting (Continental style), crochet, and sewing.

As with crocheting, I can teach a range of students, from those with the beginning desire to learn to students wishing to hone specific techniques. My favorite techniques include in the round and double pointed needles, because who doesn't want to learn to avoid more sewing?

For beginner knit classes you will learn cast on, knit, purl, cast off as well as other useful info pertaining to yarns, needles, pattern reading etc.

For advanced knitting techniques I offer three 2hr packages. Each package covers one topic. The topics are Lace, Cables/Slip stitches, Sock techniques, Entrelac, Knitting in the round.
**Please select one 120 min package per topic you would like to learn**

From beginner to expert level! I aim to teach you how to create quality products from start to finish.
