This half day morning summer camp, to be held at Kingswood Oxford school in West Hartford, CT will teach participants the basics of knitting, including how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off, while working on simple projects they can complete during the camp. Along the way, students will explore the various types of yarns and fibers used in knitting, gaining an appreciation for the craft’s rich history and creative possibilities. In addition to honing their knitting skills, students will have the chance to make new friends, share their progress, and collaborate in a welcoming, supportive environment. By the end of the camp, each participant will leave with a handknit item they can be proud of, along with the confidence to continue exploring the art of knitting on their own.
