Perhaps you’ve always wanted to learn to knit. Or you learned to knit as a child and haven’t picked up a needle since. If so, this class is for you. Join Judith Tavano, inveterate knitter, to learn (or re-learn) the basics of knitting. You will learn how to cast on, knit, and purl, and what you can make with these two basic stitches. We will talk about knitting tension, yarn weights, and needle sizes, and how they influence the outcome of any knitted work.

The group will meet twice. In session 1, we will focus on the basics and the start of a project; in session 2, two weeks later, we will check in on your project and share your beginning knitting experiences with each other.

*Note: The class meets 11/6/25 & 11/20/25, skipping 11/13/25 to allow time for you to work on your piece.

Please bring a set of knitting needles, US size 9. Yarn will be supplied. Or if you have a favorite yarn, bring it along

Dr. Spencer Allen brings to OLLI participants The Infancy Gospel of James. This is the early 2nd-century narrative that reveals the extraordinary life of Mary, Mother of Jesus, and the miraculous events surrounding her birth and life up through the birth of Jesus, as told by Jesus’ older stepbrother James. This text uses Old Testament/Hebrew Bible passages to create the foundation of Mary’s story and weaves in the Christmas narratives found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.

Lunch will be provided the 2nd session.
