# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Learn To Knit: A Beginner's Course
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 04 Jul, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: Always wanted to learn to knit but never known where to start? Used to knit in the past, but forgot most of it?
During this course I will take you from complete beginner to confidently starting - and potentially even finishing - your very first knitting project.

Over five relaxed, in-person sessions spread across 10 weeks, you'll learn all the essential skills needed to begin your knitting journey. We'll cover everything from casting on, knit and purl stitches, through to swatching, increasing/decreasing, understanding yarns and needles, and choosing (and starting!) your first project.

The course is designed to give you plenty of time to practise between sessions, build confidence at your own pace, and receive guidance whenever you need it. By the end of the course, you'll have the knowledge and skills to continue knitting independently and tackle future projects with confidence.
