Never too young to start!
Got a little one in your life who could use a calm, productive hobby?
I thought so.
Kids Learn to Knit
$40 With Karie Galvin
Covers knitting, purling, casting on, and binding off in shorter 1 hour classes. Recommended for ages 8 and up.
Date/Time: Saturdays, Nov 5, 12, 19, 26, 1-2pm
Materials: US #8 straight needles, worsted-weight wool (preferably plain-colored and not too dark).
Skills learned: knit, purl, cast on, bind off.
In all seriousness, though, knitting is fantastic for kids! It helps them learn to follow written instructions, develops fine motor functioning, and can be a fun way to reinforce basic math (or even not-so-basic math, haha.) And at the end, they’ve made something beautiful and warm! Plus, when they’re in college and all their friends are just now learning to make garter stitch scarves because it’s “the in thing,” they can totally blow their socks off with their mad skillz.
