Description:

In our Knitting 101 class, we teach you everything you need to know to begin knitting! Participants get hands-on experience crafting their own kerchief. This unisex peice can be worn around your neck, in your hair, or for your pet!  The curriculum covers essential knitting basics, including foundational knit stitches, increase and decrease stitches, providing beginners with a solid skill set. Students also have the option to select their preferred yarn type, opting for the breathable Cotton/Linen blend or the luxuriously soft Merino wool. Guided by experienced instructors, the class ensures a supportive and instructive environment for those taking their first steps in the world of knitting.  

About our instructor: 

Geo Kester (they/them) is a Brooklyn-based fiber artist who specializes in bright colors and unique fibers. They make everything from sweaters to purses to croc jibbitz, and have fun with it all. When not knitting or crocheting, they are probably hiding their massive yarn supply from their three cats.
