Beyond the Basics: A Refresher clinic

If you already know how to do the knit stitch, but need help with just about everything else, this 2-hour refresher may be right for you.

We will cover the purl stitch, and the types of fabrics you can knit using basic knit/purl combinations.

We will review cast on and bind-off techniques, simple sewing-up techniques, and introduce increases and decreases. We will deal with simple problems like dropped stitches and other common mistakes.


Prerequisite: Basic knitting skills (even if you've forgotten them!)

2 hours

Tuesday, May 18th, 6 p.m. - 8 p.m.

Instructor: Cathy Merriman

Fee: $30 + HST
