KNITTING CLASSES APR '09 CLASS SCHEDULE and SUPPLY LIST

Please sign up asap as these will fill up quickly and no less than 24 hours in advance of your class. You are not considered signed up until you have paid your fee. You may purchase supplies the day of class but please come at least 1/2 hour early so it doesn’t take away from your class time. For all classes except Beginners, please bring your knitting accessories such as markers, holders, crochet hook, tapestry needle, scissors, tape, etc.

KEY TO CLASS LEVELS Each class description gives a minimum level of skills needed to attend the class. Don’t be intimidated. Most people can knit and add to their skills each time they learn something new. Our classes are planned to build your skills. We try to match the levels with the class as close as possible, but you may be in-between levels or just not sure. Don’t hesitate to ask us if a class would be right for you.
