Learn to Knit For the Summer

I wanted to post that we are offering a Learn To Knit in July. The dates are July 14, 21 and 28th from 6-8 pm. Linda G. will be teaching the class.

Our Learn to Knit is made for people that have never touch needles and for those that haven't knitted in ages and want a refresher course. You will learn how to Cast on (Getting yarn onto the needle), Knit, Purl, Stitch patterns and how to Bind off (Getting the project off the needles safely).

You will have 2 ongoing projects. The first night you will start on a scarf and learn how to Cast on and Knit. The second night you will work with cotton and make a wash cloth sampler of different stitches. The last night Linda G. will show you how to Bind Off and help with any problem that may come up.

Please call the shop to sign up for the class. You can call us at 618.692.6950. We hope you can join us.
