Room 208: Maker Activity BThis beginner knitting class is designed especially for adults who are new to knitting.
Welcome to our Beginner Knitting Class! In this session, you’ll learn the basics of knitting, including how to cast on, create simple stitches, and start your first project. All materials are provided, and no prior experience is needed—just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!
We’ll go over materials when you arrive in class. If you already have knitting needles and yarn at home and are excited to bring them, that’s absolutely okay too!
