Always wanted to learn how to knit? Experiencing pain in your wrists  from needle knitting? Loom knitting is great for those just starting out  or those who have been knitting for years! This Beginner Basics of Loom Knitting class is for first-time loom knitters. We will start with  casting-on techniques and how to do knit and purl stitches for  flat-panel and in-the-round knitting as well as binding-off techniques. You will also learn how to adjust gauge for different projects and how to set up for double knitting. This is a great class to get your feet wet. We will use the adjustable Kiss Looms for the class and you will get a small-gauge 30-peg loom with 7 peg ends, a great starter loom with room to add on later. Whether you’ve been knitting with needles for years or have always wanted to knit, you’ll love working with an adjustable loom. It’s easy on your hands and gives you lots of versatility!
