Ready to learn a new hobby and a new language?  Cast on, purl, moss stitch, slip and more are just a few examples of  the lingo you will learn in the knitting world.   My mom taught me to knit a few years ago but unfortunately I have not graduated beyond the entry level of a scarf.  But a scarf is a great starting place and would make for a great holiday gift for someone on your list.   Basic knitting is cheap and easy.  All you will need is some yarn and knitting needles that you can pick up at your local craft store.   And trust me as a beginner you want to start off with the cheap yarn as you will make a few mistakes the first go round.  If you can’t find a friend to teach you the basics sign up for a local class. 

Here are a few local class options:

Callanwolde Fine Arts located in Midtown:  $90 for 4 sessions click here for location and class info

Chastain Arts Center located in Buckhead:  $110 for a 10 week session click here 

In Stitches located in Buckhead:  $20 for a 2 hour class with the option to purchase a punch card of 5 classes for $80 click here

Knitch in the Virginia Highlands: $110 for 3 classes click here

Evenings at Emory does not currently have any classes this Fall but check back in the later winter for more class info

I hope you are inspired to pick up some knitting needles and cast on this winter a fabulous knitted creation.
