Knit your man a sweater Knit-A-Long! **
Fridays, February 3, 10, 17, 24, & March 2, from
11:30-12:30 for free!
This is NOT a class, but a chance for knitters to work on
sweaters for the men in their lives together and ideally finish them in 5 weeks
which is so doable! This"KAL" encourages knitters to help other knitters sort
out their problems which many times is more beneficial than asking a pro.
We ask that you commit to coming to at least
3 of these meetings, and that you purchase your materials from our store.
We have some great top down sweaters, some
more complicated classic styles, as well as the great book
Knits Men Want
which is funny and gives you insight on what to knit your man, and many easy
wearable patterns to choose from.
We
also have a wide variety of men friendly yarns to knit from for a variety of
budgets.
NOTE: Materials are NOT included in any of the classes.
Remember:
No refunds on classes.
Classes must be paid in full to reserve a
spot.
We reserve the right to cancel a
class if less than three (3) people have enrolled.
If you cannot attend a class and will

a private lesson at our regular rate of $15.00 per half hour.
