Description:
My name is Liz Daly and I host the Newish Knitter KAL (NKKAL) the first 3 Wednesdays of every month. This KAL started back in 2020 when we realized that we needed to connect to our customers in a different way. The original plan was for this group to assist knitters who had completed our Knit 101 and Knit 102 classes continue knitting but it has turned into a monthly group of knitters of all levels (beginner to expert) from across the USA who meet monthly to work on projects together which are the perfect social knitting projects. Join us for a month or two and I guarantee you will be more confident knitter. Our Newish Knitter KAL is for knitters who have finished Knit 101 and Knit 102 and are wondering what to knit next. All of these patterns are great places to practice your stitches and learn how to read patterns. This KAL is also for more experienced knitters who want to socialize with others while knitting a project where you can knit and chat at the same time.
In January we're knitting a cowl but this cowl is knit flat and is fastened with buttons. You can either use straight needles or circular needles. The highlights of what we will be going over are a double decrease, reading stitches and button holes. Like always I will walk you through the beginning to the end of this pattern.
