This is not the time to learn a completely new skill.... it is the time to get help.

Summer Knit Along

We are going to be doing a summer knit along this year! I know many people haven't finished their winter knit along yet so there will be 2 options for this one: option #1 is the same as usual, buy the yarn for the knit along and the class is free or option #2 if you'd like to work on your winter knit along then you can pay $30 and come finish that project!!

For those of you that don't know about our knit alongs here's the quick run down. They are slightly different than a regular class in several ways. First off there are more people (and more teachers!)... we have up to 13 people in a knit along and 2 teachers. It is not the time to learn a completly new skill... it's a great time to get help reading patterns, to be near a teacher so they can fix mistakes when they happen and to just have a great time with other knitters!

What patterns will we be doing this time? The first option is one I have wanted to make for a long time: Hey Teach . The second option is a really cute knit skirt(comes in girls & womens sizes): Hip in Hemp , the third Option: Buttercup (ravelry link) or the fourth option: Petrie Tank

Please sign up by by May 22 (in case we have to special order your yarn... we want it to be here in time to start!)

Cost: $30 (FREE if you buy $30 worth of yarn for THIS project)
