Knitting Class

This Thursday evening class is limited to six students who want to learn how to knit AND for knitters who would like to learn a new knitting technique.  If you are a brand new knitter, you will learn how to cast on and knit then how to purl and cast off.  If you already know how to knit and purl, the new skill you learn could be anything from knitting in the round to cables to colorwork (whatever you are interested in we will teach you).  You can sign up for just one class ($25); however, if you sign up for all three you save $10.  Register in advance for this class since spots are limited.  Please have your supplies picked out before the start of class.  You will receive 10% off all supplies purchased for this class.  We will offer these classes in October (7th, 14th & 21st) and November (4th, 11th & 18th).

When: Thursday: 9/9, 9/16 and/or 9/23
Class Time: 6:30 - 8pm
