KNITTING CLASSES FOR EVERYONE

Fall classes start the week of September 2nd

Supplies for New Students: Students need needles (size 4 – 4.5mm), a ball of worsted weight yarn and a carry bag to keep your work in. Other useful items are a pen and paper, post it notes, tape measure, zip lock bag, safety pins, small scissors and some straight pins. No worries if you don’t have these items; you can pick them up on your first class or when you register.

Drop-ins are $8.00 per session and are only available if the class isn’t full. You must check on space availability with the store or the teacher. If you need one on one time with a teacher we suggest trying the “Doctor is In” session or book a private lesson. Class time is for everyone and you may not get the special attention you need if you have a serious knitting challenge. If you can’t make your class please let us know - we will try to find a time for you to makeup the class. Makeup classes must be made in the same series but may be with another teacher. Please advise us of your absence; it helps us find room for another student to do a make up or allows a drop in.
Private classes can be arranged ($25.00 per hour).
