Class Description

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to knit or need to knock the dust off your existing knitting skills, Knit Maker 101 with Vickie Howell is the course for you!

In this class, you’ll learn everything you need to find inspiration for your projects, choose your supplies, and start knitting the basics like phone cozies, scarves, and beanies. 


You’ll learn how to:

  • Choose the right yarn and the right gauge of needles
  • Cast on, knit, purl, rib stitch, and seed stitch
  • Join a new ball or color to your project
  • Use circular needles
  • Finish off your projects
  • Weave in ends
Knitting is more than just a pastime; it’s a powerful way to add creativity, beauty, and even serenity to your daily life. The only question you’ll leave Knit Maker 101 with is, “What will I make next?”

I have to say that I am a fan of Vickie Howell and I absolutely love the way she teaches this class. The way she teaches this class is so easy to follow and understand. I am a beginner and was having a hard time with adding a new ball and decreases and this course has helped improve my knitting skills.

Vicky, WHERE have you been? You are missed on PBS show. VERY much looking fwd to this class. Vicky is one of the BEST knitting/Crochet instructors I have EVER watched. You are guaranteed to learn how to knit easily with her easy to follow instructions. Her own knitting is the most beautiful Ive seen. She tells you how to choose yarn, needles and how to follow patterns. Your set with this class. Even a seasoned pro will learn something.
