Pick up a new hobby while being inspired by Swedish knitting traditions! This workshop is for beginning knitters or those who wish to refresh their dormant knitting skills. Students will learn to cast on, work basic knit and purl stitches using a left-handed wrapping technique, and learn how to finish their work. The project is a small cuff that may be used as a pulse warmer or a cup cozy. The instructor will share the extensive history of Swedish knitting traditions while students work on their project. All students will head home with needles, yarn and inspiration to continue knitting at home!
