Knitting classes!

Watch this space; it will be updated as time marches on.

I'm the new knitting instructor at Michael's in Crystal. My goal is to provide classes that go above and beyond what is usually offered at a craft store, and are more on par with those available at yarn shops. I also hope to instill confidence and a sense of adventure into my students, rather than simply teaching a pattern.

Register by visiting the store at 203 Willow Bend, Crystal - 81 & Broadway Avenue (click for a map), or by calling 763-531-2372.

Each session is about 2 hours long and costs $15, and some classes meet for more than one session (i.e., a two-session class would be $30). Prices do not include materials, all of which will be available from Michael's.

Scheduled Classes
Saturday, November October 11 - Class Preview - 1-4 p.m. (sign up for classes and receive a discount on supplies)

Sunday, November 12 - Warm Up America Event - 1-5 p.m. (help us put together afghans for Warm Up America)

Saturday, November 18 - Diagonal Knit Scarf - 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

Sunday, November 19 & 26 - Mittens - 3-5 p.m. (2 sessions)

Tuesday, November 21 - Beginning Knitting - 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Tuesday, November 28 - Advanced Knitting - 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Upcoming Classes (subject to change)
Mittens, miniature sweater ornaments, diagonal-knit scarf, socks, felted bag

I also plan to offer classes on finishing techniques and fixing mistakes, if there is interest.

If there are any classes you'd like to see, please let me know, and please pass this email onto anyone who may be interested. I will also be putting class information on my website, along with project examples (which can also be seen at the store).
