I'm trying to think what else to add, and whether the price is right. The guild members I talked to today at meeting didn't think so, but many of them are well off enough to afford Convergence, so I'm taking their advice about pricing with a grain of salt.

Anyone have any suggestions about how to jazz it up and make it sound more interesting and fun for beginning knitters?

Hmm, it looks fine to me, but I do have a question:

Will the students have to pre-pay for the kit ahead of time, prior to the first class? Because it will take time to order the kit and have it delivered in time for the class, I'm thinking.

Right, but I'm ordering the kit. I've added a bit at the end saying they need to sign up two weeks beforehand, or they have to order the kit themselves (with no price break and no needles).
