These classes are for those who already know the basics of knitting.  Experience with knitting rounds may be helpful, but is 

not necessary.  

Skills Required:  Casting On, Binding Off, Knit Stitch.

Class Description: 
Take only one class or the two classes that will teach how to knit in the round using two different methods.  Each class is 

independent of the other technique so you don't need to know one technique for learning the other.  Each of these two 

classes are technique oriented and will not focus on any one project.  These are alternative techniques for knitting small 

circumferences without the use of double pointed needles.  You can use up some of your left over yarns, just make sure 

that for each class you have sufficient quantities of yarn to knit several inches.

Class will start promptly at 2:00 PM.  A ten minute wait time will be allowed for stragglers, so be sure to be on time.
