Are images of an old lady hunched over in a rocking chair by a fireplace knitting an ugly Christmas sweater with a cat on her lap dancing through your mind? Then this class is for you!

No, Knitting for Beginners is not your grandmother's knitting circle. This is for everyday, average people who enjoy creating things with their hands and have been looking for a new hobby to pick up. This is for anyone who's ever thought it would be cool to give a handmade gift instead of a store-bought gift, but wasn't sure where to start. Please note: If you want to get into the nitty-gritty of the craft (left/right hand techniques, fair isle/color knitting, etc.) then this class is NOT for you. This is a quick-start course for people interested in learning the basics.

Join me, and I'll get you started making scarves, hats, cup cozies, and more just in time for the holidays!

Class will run between 1.5-2 hours, depending on everyone's progress. The cost of the class includes all materials you'll need for a scarf, but please feel free to bring your own materials/yarn if you have them! If this day/time doesn't work for you, please feel free to leave a comment letting me know which days/times you'd like to see this class be offered again.

Also, Milkboy Philly has been kind enough to let us use their space for free, but I want to encourage you all to support and thank them by trying out some of their amazing coffee and snacks while we're there!
