Knit-Along & Blocking Party–A Two-Part Workshop
WHRL is excited to offer our very first Knit-Along (KAL)! Led by staff member Kelly Hagenbuch, this two-part workshop is perfect for knitters who already know the basics and want the experience of completing a project from start to finish. We expect participants to feel comfortable casting on, knitting, purling, and binding off. But don’t worry! While some familiarity with knitting is helpful, you don’t need to have everything mastered. Kelly and WHRL friends will be on hand to offer support and guidance throughout.
In a fun, relaxed environment, participants will begin by knitting the Bluster Bandana Cowl by SunDaughter Designs. The second session will focus on blocking—a finishing technique that involves wetting your completed project, shaping it to the desired dimensions, and allowing it to dry.
Join us on Saturday, January 31st, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the WHRL Office—a wonderful place to craft, learn, and connect with others!
