This workshop is suitable for Absolute Beginner Knitters. Absolute Beginners are Future Knitters who have not yet put ‘yarn’ to ‘needle,’ have neither ‘knit’ nor ‘purled,’ and don’t know the difference between ‘casting on’ and ‘casting off.’   Also, perhaps, Former Knitters who may have forgotten it all (you know who you are!).  We’ll help you choose your materials and tools, and teach you to cast on, knit, and bind off.   Your purchase of a kit saves your spot! 

Yarn for Free Workshops at Lancaster Yarn Shop must be purchased at LYS. 

Classes and FREE Workshops at Lancaster Yarn Shop must meet a minimum enrollment to be held as scheduled.  Classes and Free Workshops that are under-enrolled will be cancelled or re-scheduled.  If a Class is cancelled, tuition will be refunded.  As always, all yarn, pattern and tool sales are final.
