Loom Knitting II
Lifelong Learning | Registration opens 1/8/2025 9:00 AM EST
Join us for a fun class that dives further into the art of loom knitting. We will learn a bit about the history of the craft and make loom knit a doll using a 24-peg loom. You will need one skein of colorful yarn for the body and hat and another color of your choice for the face and head. You will learn a new method for casting on and casting off the loom for this project. We will loom knit another project but that will be decided by the class depending on how much time we have.
All participants need to be experienced loom knitters or have taken Loom Knitting 1 prior to this class.
Participants must have a 24-peg round loom (example: Yuhoo Knitting Loom Set, Round Plastic Knit Quick Loom Set https://a.co/d/aYzcUj6.). You may also be able to find a 24-peg plastic loom at Joann Fabrics or Michaels.
