Learn to knit - a complete comprehensive knitting course where you will learn all the basics and then some. At the end of the course you will have completed beautiful, unique throw pillow, individually designed and created by you, showing off all your newly acquired knitting skills.
The course proceeds at a fairly slow pace allowing for everyone's learning curve. Those that pick it up quickly will have the oppurtunity to practice and refine their skills and increase speeds. Those who may take a little longer to grasp the stiches will have plenty of time to learn what they need to, to complete the final project. Everyone will benefit from practicing and working on the various pieces at home between lessons.
