“Building Blocks” is a series of 12 fun patterns that will grow your knitting skill starting with simple knit and purl stitches Your confidence will grow as you progress through several major knitting principles. Each block pattern focuses on new stitches and techniques in a sequential fashion that “builds” upon the previously learned skill. During the Block of the Month Sessions we will go over the technique at the shop and then each block will also have video instruction on the website www.KnitPurlHunter.com.
