Knitting Bootcamp For Beginners: All Day Knitting Camp & SJP Beanie Project
March 5, 2017
11:00 AM
In this all day knitting bootcamp, Instructor Becca Schillinger teaches you the basics of knitting and gets you started on creating stitches using those big knitting needles! No previous knitting experience required! Leading you through two main knitting projects, Becca will teach you skills including: reading and understanding a pattern, casting on/off, knitting (duh…), purling, increasing and decreasing stitches, ribbing, finishing work with blocking, and sewing with a yarn needle. The first part of class will include demonstration and instruction on these knitting skills, followed by the first knitting project. There will be a break for lunch, then you will begin work on your second project. You will have ample time to ask questions, troubleshoot, and perfect your practice. You will leave class with your two projects, a set of wooden knitting needles, a yarn needle to finish your pieces, and the skills to read and follow simple knitting patterns in order to inspire and complete future knitting projects!
We Are Knitters - SJP Beanies Project: For this class, your first project will be a cozy ear warmer / headband, a pair of boot socks, OR fingerless gloves. Your second project will be an SJP Beanie from We Are Knitters (pictured above). As part of this class, you will receive a new We Are Knitters knitting kit! Each kit includes two 15mm knitting needles, one skein of exceptional 100% Peruvian wool (ohhhhh… ahhhhh…), a sewing needle, and beanie pattern. You will choose from an assortment of available colors. These beanies are unisex.

Supplies Needed: none. We will supply yarn and needles, which you will take home with you. If you have special yarn (chunky thick yarn is best) that you would like to bring in and test, please feel free!
