About this event

Hobbies • Knitting

A class for absolute beginners and those seeking a refresher in the basics of hand knitting. You will learn how fiber and yarn choices determine the characteristics of your knit, and how to harness this knowledge to create your ideal cloth. You will learn to cast-on and cast-off a sample swatch in which you will also learn to knit and purl, the two foundational stitches upon which all knitting is built. Learn to experience knitting as creative empowerment, limited only to your imagination!

About the instructor: Jillian Carrozza graduated from The Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC and from Central Saint Martins in London, UK, specializing in fashion design with knitwear.

Her passion for textiles is rooted in knitting, as it offers total creative command in materializing design ideas. She is honored to share her experience and creative outlook with all who are curious to learn.
