Knitting for Beginners: Continental Style

This course is for right- or left-handed absolute beginners, those who have tried knitting before but struggled with technique and tension, or for crocheters ready to try knitting. Starting from the basics, this class will teach my preferred method for Continental-style knitting, also called German, European, picking or left-hand knitting. Students will learn to cast on, knit, purl, tink, frog and bind off while knitting a series of beginner-level coasters.

NOTE: Knitting needles and other tools will be available to use for the duration of the class, and various yarns used for the beginner projects will be provided.
