you’ll combine basic stitches to mix textures & knit a dishcloth

Have you learned the knit and purl stitches and are ready to take your projects to the next level? Join me in this quick class to learn how to add visual interest to your knitting projects by combining the simplest stitches: knits and purls. Our class project will be knitting a piece of kitchen decor - a washcloth or a tea towel. They're quick to make and easy to design, making them an excellent canvas for your creativity to shine! They're super practical - you can whip up a few pieces to decorate your kitchen or gift sets of dishcloths as a hostess or housewarming gift.

This class is for you if:

- You're a knitting beginner who already knows: how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off, and you're looking to add some visual interest and flair to your knitting projects.

- You're a seasoned knitter who wants to increase confidence in planning your own projects and develop your style, apart from following set knitting patterns.

- You're a knitter and craft lover wanting to create beautiful kitchen decor for your home or as a gift for close ones! Or simple projects to enjoy along with binge-watching your favorite series guilt-free :)
