BUILDING BLOCKS

Learn new skills as you knit a beautiful afghan one square at a time!

It’s a new year! Why not begin the year with learning all those knitting “ins” and “outs” you’ve been wanting to learn!

We will meet on Tuesdays from 4 to 6 pm and each week will isolate a new skill that will add to your knitting repertoire of skills. Over the course of 14 weeks we will knit 12 blocks to create a beautiful afghan, and then all those finishing techniques on week 14!

When you’re done, you can say, “Yes, I did knit that!”

During the course, of this class you will learn the following skills:

• Gauge
• Pattern Reading
• Increases and decreases
• Charts
• Yarn over and bobbles
• Left and right twists
• Cables
• SSK and Make One
• Binding Off
• Finishing your afghan – blocking, seaming, weaving in ends
