Welcome to Our First Knit Class 2019:January/February 2020 Knit Class: Our first class was busy. We had to spend most of our time turning our skeins into a 5 in ball for easy handling. The new students have started loom knitting. Our experienced knitters are to watch videos. We will cast on and knit next week. We ran out of time. Please review these movies to learn more about stitches. If you are from CES, you can visit me to help you over any hurdles. Use the videos to refresh your brain. Loom Knitting
