“Knitting is calming, relaxing, and keeps us centred because of its repetitive movements, which can help prevent and manage stress, pain and depression, which in turn strengthens the body’s immune system”
The total course is for five weeks, two hours per night, per week. Over the period of the five weeks you will learn the basics of knitting, to include:
How to hold the needles
Casting on and off
Garter stitch
Stocking stitch
Increasing and decreasing
You will also learn how to follow a pattern.
Once these skills have been gained, this will enable you to progress to intermediate/advanced level where you will learn to work with more complicated patterns.
During the weeks you will knit a hat, headband or a cowl together with a brooch (styles will vary).
