Event Details

I am happy to repeat the beginner knitting class with Ellen. If you missed the first class, you have another chance to learn the basics of knitting.

Ellen has taught knitting classes at the Cultured Purl in Erie PA, and at the Kinzua Knit Away in
Warren, PA. Students ranged in age from 7 years to 80 years old. There is a wide variety of
techniques and projects that she has made. She is also a valued test knitter for designers and
sample knitter for books. Ellen writes her own patterns as well, and currently has 12 knitting
patterns for sale and is working on more to come. You can find her at knitdesignsbyelle.com or
as knittinkitten22 on ravelry.com.

This is a class for true beginning knitters. An overview of knitting terms, yarn and needle types, and other examples will be given. Skills covered will include casting on, executing the basic knit stitch, yarn tension, counting rows, avoiding mistakes and casting off. Following the class, students will have the skills needed to make this hat.

$25 Class fee includes hat pattern. (to be completed on your own following class)
