This workshop for adults is taught by Elizabeth Seward, author of Teaching Through Stories: Jane and Jeremy Learn to Knit. You will learn basic knitting skills, such as casting on, casting off, the basic knit stitch, and how to change colors for stripes. You will also learn how to effectively and enjoyably teach these skills to children in a classroom or homeschool setting. We will make a bunny (or two) and a butterfly (or two).
Pre-requisites: willingness to learn, and willingness to work between classes.
