More Cables!

Knit cables are classic and elegant. This timeless scarf pattern is ideal for practicing new cabling techniques. Perhaps best of all, in the end you'll have an attractive and functional new accessory!

This is a great class for both beginning knitters and more experienced knitters looking to learn some new techniques. Students will learn three different cabling techniques, two techniques to join yarn, and have time to practice in a class setting.

Kids Beginning Knitting

This class and pattern were designed especially with the beginning knitting child in mind. If you have questions as to whether your child would be better placed in this class or the Knitting 101 and Knitting 102 classes, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Students will learn many, but not all, of the fundamental knitting skills. Classes are kept very small and short (four students, one hour).

The price includes knitting needles, a tapestry needle, a choice of yarn color, and a choice of button.

Because the class size is so small, we are offering two different options for times: a weekly morning class, or a bi-weekly early evening class.
