Are you using the same old cast on for all your knitting projects, without considering which stitch pattern follows?  When a pattern specifies an unfamiliar cast on, do you find yourself avoiding that project?  Our first session will arm you with an arsenal of cast ons, and a knowledge of which one is most suitable for each knitting project.  

When you get to binding off your stitches, do you always use the same method, worrying the whole time that your “bind off loosely” isn’t quite loose enough?  Does the prospect of kitchener stitch intimidate you?  Do you stall on a project because you just aren’t sure how to close off those open stitches in the best way for that particular piece?  In our second session you will learn a variety of ways to finish off your stitches and which method is best suited to each project.  

Participants must be able to cast on, knit, purl and bind off with confidence.
