Intro to Knitting | A 4-Week Intro Course (Feb 2026)

Intro to Knitting is a welcoming, hands-on course designed for complete beginners and curious creatives alike. This class centers on the simple but wonderful ability to create something entirely by hand, using yarn, your hands, and yes, knitting needles. Whether you've never picked up needles before or have tried knitting in the past and felt unsure where to start, this course walks you through the fundamentals at a comfortable, encouraging pace. Along the way, you'll build confidence, learn muscle memory, and experience the calming, meditative nature of making something from scratch. Small class sizes ensure personalized instruction, clear demonstrations, and plenty of one-on-one support.
