Learn to Knit 101 with Stitch House
About
This 3-session class is for you if you have no knitting experience or learned long ago and need a refresher. In this class you'll learn the basics - cast-on, knit, purl, and bind-off. With the help of the instructor, you will start a simple project. All materials are included. Presented by Annissa from Stitch House in Dorchester. Annissa Essaibi George is the owner of Stitch House. At age 6 her mom stayed up late teaching her to sew her first project - a Barbie skirt! She never stopped sewing and you would find her late at night, throughout high school and college, sewing. As a teenager she was national finalist in a McCall’s Pattern Company sewing contest. In college her and her roommate would create an assembly line and sew hair scrunchies to sell in the dorms to fund take-out dinner or a night on the town. After college Annissa had a small line of custom, special occasion children’s clothing featured in several retail shops. Annissa made her own prom dress, wedding gown and all her bridesmaid dresses and flower girl dresses. She’s also made countless quilts and hand-crafted gifts for her friends and family. Although sewing is her passion she enjoys the portability of knitting and crocheting and always has several projects going at once. Registration is required and will open 3 weeks prior to the first session. By registering for the first session, you are committing to all 3 sessions.
