We will start by learning how to cast on a knitting project, how to knit, purl and cast off your sample after finishing. Once you are getting a hold of it, you will be invited to get creative and to experiment with different colors and material types.

During the course you will be introduced to different materials you can knit with and to different artists and designers that work with knitting in an interesting way.
