Knitting Basics Masterclass

Never knitted before? Perfect. In three hours you'll go from zero to actually making something. Cast on, knit, purl, cast off, read a pattern, and fix the mistakes you'll definitely make. You'll leave with your first swatch, leftover yarn to keep practising, and an online reference guide so you don't have to memorise a thing.
