Knitting 101
We’ve designed a 6 lesson knitting course that’s fast, easy and ensures you stick with it. We found that most folks have given knitting a try, but lost touch with it after taking on a project that was too hard or just forgetting the steps. Our class is designed to give you tips and encouragement along the way, as well as buildable goals that keep you interested (and keep you knitting!). Knitting is an incredible tool for creating, and has a positive effect on your mental health. Let us teach you the basics and get you knitting in no time. This short class:
Takes 2ish hours to complete, with 6 lessons to break the skills up into bitesized bits of learning
On-the-go friendly: no long videos to scrub through for the skills you need, our visuals are GIFs that repeat the key skill over and over until you get it.
Practice makes perfect: You can do it! We show you how to make basic projects first, adding skills slowly to ensure you stick with it.
A self care practice that’s meditative once you learn the basics. Replace scrolling on the couch time with Knitflixing.
Express yourself and make your own clothes! Knitting is a beautiful way to express yourself not just with what you knit, but how you wear your own creations.
