Knitting Lesson & Lunch for Beginners in Astoria

This Introduction to knitting class is perfect for beginners. We'll start at the very beginning. You'll learn how to tie a slip knot, cast on, work the knit stitch, join a new color, bind off, and weave in the ends. With all the new skills you will learn in this class, you will be able to start your first project.

Materials to bring: Chunky weight yarn with appropriate size knitting needle (US10 / 6mm). Check the label to make sure the yarn calls for a size US10 needle.

Please note that our instructor will not have extra materials on hand. Please be sure to bring what you need.

Space limited to five students. If you can't attend for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible so others can attend in your place.

We will start at the Inca Paisa restaurant in Astoria (21-19 Broadway) at 12 noon for lunch and then either stay there for our lesson or walk a short distance to our instructor’s home.
