Cottage Yarn

In one hand you have a ball of string, in the other two sticks. Now what?

Figuring out what to do can seem impossibly daunting. We were all there at some point and we are here now to teach you the basics. You will learn to cast on, knit, purl and bind off. We’ll also show you how to increase and decrease and how to read basic patterns. After this class you will have acquired the foundational skills of knitting and plenty of confidence to go with them.

This is a sequence of two classes.
