Studio Knitting for All is available through Ridgefield Continuing Education.
Knitting can keep a mind sharp and fingers nimble. The class is for both beginners and those who want to continue from where they are. Participants will learn the basic stitches and develop skills in maintaining an even tension. The instructor will provide practice needles and practice yarn until the participant determines a project. After the selection of a project, the participant will purchase the necessary supplies. Projects have included knitting a scarf, sweater, blanket, and handbag.
