Kick Back and Knit

by Bertha

Casting on, knitting, purling, and casting off, the basics, this is what you can learn. Pick from simple patterns for an easy project. Join this circle of knitters at Traverwood, August 11, 2:00-3:30 PM. Grade 6 to Adult. Bring your own needles and we'll supply a variety of colorful yarns. All knitting begins with a simple slip knot. . .

Ideas and patterns galore can be found in books and magazines at the library. You may want to start with, Creative Knitting or Interweave Knits a couple magazines that focus on knitting. Then check out books on hats, gifts, socks, or projects to make with only one skein.

Give it a try!

cool

Sally, sometimes we host these knitting programs with special 'instructors' but for this summer program we're simply
hosting with AADL staff folks who knit. Hope you can join us.

I got knitting needles for a birthday gift one year - maybe this it the time to learn how to use them:)!

Even though I am a boy, I would like to learn how to knit. It would come in handy...someday.

To the person asking about books to teach you knitting: they do have plenty of those. However, in my experience it's a whole lot easier to learn to knit by sitting beside a person and - you can see what is happening and follow along, developing muscle memory as you go. Second best is to watch videos that are shot over someone's shoulder - you can find lots of youtube, maybe also at the library.

I would have loved to attend this event, but I dont have needles. I've always wanted to learn how.
