There’s an indescribable joy in completing a handmade garment or project for the first time. Shortly after, comes a rush of confidence, autonomy, and endless possibilities. With crochet, you truly can make anything!

This course introduces you to the never-ending world of crochet, starting with the basics and building toward advanced techniques. Learn how to match hooks to yarn, create foundation chains, and place stitches to make anything from a sweater to a plushie.

Knitting

Day & Time: Wednesday, 7:30 – 8:30 PM
Age: 14 through adult!

Discover the joy of knitting in this engaging evening class for teens and adults. You’ll learn the essentials of knitting straight and in the round, and gain the skills to customize patterns for your own creations.

Why age 14+? Knitting customization involves calculating gauge and pattern adjustments, which requires understanding cross-multiplication and basic math concepts—skills typically developed around age 14.

Students will learn:

Knitting straight and in the round
How to customize and adjust patterns
Calculating gauge for accurate sizing
Building confidence in creating scarves, hats, and more complex projects

By the end of the class, you’ll leave with new techniques, a finished handmade project, and the confidence to tackle your own designs.

Maya Blackmon

Fiber Arts Instructor

Meet Maya Victoria Blackmon, born and raised in Miami, FL but embraced the world of crochet and knitting in Bronxville, NY. Thanks to facetime and her mothers extroversion, Maya learned the foundations of crocheting from Yvette Malloy-Jiggetts; her mother’s college roommate. Since creating her first project, Maya has only become more interested in learning fiber arts skills and participating in the trade. In her spare time when she isn’t frequenting yarn libraries, Maya loves to roller skate, volunteering at community gardens and environmental organizations, collaging, attending local live music shows, cooking and hosting picnics with friends.
