Loom Knitting

Lifelong Learning | This program is completed

Loom knitting has been around for a long time, and although it is often seen as a children’s craft, some very beautiful and complex stitch patterns can be done using a simple loom.  We will be learning about loom knitting, creating a hat and scarf in this class.  Please try to come to the first class with a 9-10 inch loom; we will discuss what kind of yarn you wish to get for your hat and scarf combo. Loom for an adult hat/scarf can be purchased on Amazon at this link: https://a.co/d/0hkv6Hx6

Sr. Elena Almendarez, CDP, MA has been a Sister of Divine Providence for many years and ministered in the fields of education, parish ministry, and foster care. Sister Elena has served as a director at Roche University and Kearns Spirituality Center. Last fall, she became the Executive Director for Mission Integration and the University’s Chief Mission Officer. She looks forward to hosting programs and creating opportunities for lifelong learners, LRU staff, faculty, and students, and the greater community to connect deeper to LRU’s mission.

 

In addition, Sr. Elena has been an “obsessed” loom knitter for the past five years and loom knitted casually before that. She thinks loom knitting is fun and can be as easy or as complicated as a knitter chooses to make it.
