On a short summer break! Please come back soon for August dates. In the meantime, you can book a private lesson with Jeannette. Welcome to the world of yarn! Learn to knit in two 2-hour sessions. These classes are in person and take place at our Berkeley location (2921 College Avenue). It is geared towards adults or teenagers. If these dates don't work well for you or you prefer to learn to knit sooner, consider booking a private lesson with Jeannette! In a one-on-one setting, you should be able to get through the curriculum of Knit 101 in one hour. Jeannette is available most Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between 11am and 5pm. You can even book a semi-private lesson with a friend! Curious how our beginner classes work? If you have never knitted before, register for Knit 101. After completion of Knit 101, you can register for Knit 102 to complete your knowledge of the basics. Knit 101 You'll learn to cast on, the knit stitch, bind off, weaving in ends and adding a second ball of yarn. Knit 102 You'll learn the purl stitch, stockinette, ribbing and seed textures. You'll also learn how to "read" your stitches. Prerequisite: completion of K101 If you already know some of the basics but want a refresher on stitches, we strongly recommend that you register for K101 or take a private lesson as a refresher. The K102 class is for students that can confidently cast on, knit and bind off. These skills are not taught in K102.
