Start your day at Fabulous Yarn in Tivoli, NY where Hudson-based fiber artist, Lizz Hill Wiker will lead a beginner’s knitting workshop. She will teach you everything you need to know to make your own lightweight scarf, bandanna or dishtowel.
During the class, students will learn the basics of knitting including, casting on, the knit stitch and binding off. Lizz will also provide an overview of how to select yarns and needles and will get you familiar with common knitting tools and reading patterns. No prior experience is required.
SELECTING YOUR MATERIALS
Before the hands-on demos begin, you will get a walk-through of Fabulous Yarn where Lizz will explain the basics of shopping for yarn and needles, the kinds of fibers that are available (and recommended for new knitters) and you will have a chance to shop for the yarn and tools that you will use during the class.
