Now that you’ve learned the basics of knitting – or you want to hone your skills – you are invited to join us for a weekly knitting group in January. You’ll choose from three simple patterns, choose and buy your own yarn, needles, and notions, and we’ll get started on the first day!
Join a small group to make something from start to finish, with guidance and feedback from experienced knitter Hilary Snell. Enjoy stretching your brain with a new skill while engaging in the social bonding that only crafts can provide. Plus, there will be snacks! Class size is limited to 12 people.
