SUMMARY:Learn How to Knit (Optional 2-Part Class) @ RCLC
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basics of knitting so you can start you first project and get hands-on support in the second session. Some materials required.\n\n\nThis two-session class will give you the skills and confidence to start your first knitting project. \nThe first session (11/7) will cover the basic steps of knitting. This includes the tools you need\, casting on stitches\, making both knit and purl stitches\, and binding off stitches. The first session will include a discussion of beginner projects\, how to read a pattern\, and how to pick out materials for a project. The focus of the first session is on practicing the skills rather than starting a project. \nThe second session (11/14) will be optional and structured more like office hours. Students can come and work on projects together\, and the instructor will be on hand to provide support. This could include working on an in-progress project\, getting help applying the skills from the first class to a specific project\, or picking out the pattern for a first project. \nStudents need to bring: Students need to bring: Two double-pointed needles size 7-9 and worsted-weight (medium-thick) yarn. Note that if students already have other needle sizes and yarn weights\, they will work and buying more is not necessary. \nBelow are the dates for each part of the class. You only have to register for the first date listed (November 7). You have the option during checkout to let us know whether you plan on attending the second optional session\, and you may email us at info@seattlereconomy.org if that answer changes: \n\nSession One (Required): Saturday\, November 7\, from 3–5pm at Reuse Commons Lake City\nSession Two (Optional): Saturday\, November 14\, from 2–4pm at Reuse Commons Lake City\n\nAbout the instructor\, Sarah Hilton: Sarah learned how to knit when she was seven years old and she has been knitting consistently for the last six years. She currently knits socks\, scarves\, hats\, mittens\, sweaters\, and pot holders. She considers herself mostly a self-taught knitter. Her aunt taught her the basics (like what she is proposing in this class) when she was young and she built up her knitting skills from books\, blogs\, and YouTube videos. Sarah wants to show others how to use these resources to support their knitting journey. She taught her first class for us in April\, and it sold out quickly. \nOur sliding scale for classes helps to reduce barriers for participation while retaining sufficient income for Seattle REconomy\, which owns and operates the NE Seattle and Shoreline tool libraries. Please choose the level that best fits your family’s income. If cost is a concern\, we encourage you to contact us at info@seattlereconomy.org to discuss options. \nChildren are welcome at some classes with their parent or guardian on a case-by-case basis\, either as a student or as an observer.
