Our favorite beginner knitter project!

Beginning knitting private lessons
  We recommend this two, one hour class for 100% beginners, or for people who haven't knit in many years.  Our expert staff will get your new hobby  started by knitting a pair of finger-less mittens.  In the beginner classes we cover casting on, knitting, purling, binding off, and seaming.  If for whatever reason you get stuck on one of these new  techniques, we will modify the lesson to better suit you.  We love this beginner project because it covers all three basic knitted fabrics: garter, stockinette, and ribbing.  Each one hour private lesson is $50.  Not included in the lesson cost is the pattern, circular needle, and a skein of Rhichard Devrieze hand dyed yarn.  It is not required that you purchase the materials from us, but our supplies are not like anything you will find at a craft store.  Our supplies make it easier to learn to knit, and cost around an additional $40.  This class can be scheduled during our regular business hours, and select Saturdays at 10 A.M.  
    Mot people need 2 one hour classes to be somewhat proficient. 

    Our classes are held outside of regular shop hours so please be on time, since we lock the doors as soon as the class begins.


     Please be conscientious when parking for a class.  Our lot can accommodate 12 cars if everyone parks in an organized manner.  However, you may also park at Apex across the alley for Saturday classes ONLY.



    The fine print:    We reserve the right to cancel a class if we do not have at least three students one week in advance.  You must pay to reserve your spot in the class and we appreciate it if you purchase your supplies from us.  We will only refund your class fee if we cancel the class.
