Learn Crochet: Part 1

Learn the basics of crochet or knitting! We are oh-so-happy to offer these monthly affordable beginner community workshops taught by the Wild Hand team. As a part of the workshop registration you will be asked if you'd like to learn to knit or crochet. Both crafts will be taught each night.

Start with the basic machine knitting techniques and stitches including cast-on, cast-off, stripe, increasing, decreasing, ribbing, and cables. You will put together a binder of knit swatches. No need to own your own machine, PFI provides the machines and tools for this class.

I teach using a projector and camera so that you can clearly see my demos. We will work on 5 beautiful and fun motifs that you can put on your own quilts using your home sewing machine. Get ready to finish that stack of tops!

A lively, welcoming hangout to share your passion with fellow makers. And a friendly, knowledgeable troupe of fiber art buffs, anxious to guide you to knitting and crochet nirvana.  3500 square feet of space to find peace and lose yourself in beautiful, colorful, awe-inspiring yarn.

This beginner's class is a complete primer that will start you off with perfect technique and lots of inspiration. It will prepare you for many of our fabulous other classes offered throughout the year. This class will teach you how to cast on, knit, purl, increase, decrease and bind off.
