Knitting and Crochet Classes
*In order to accommodate as many students as possible, payment for classes will be taken at the time of sign-up.*
Please do not bring young children to class with you; they get bored, are distracting to you, other class members, and the teacher. We are not staffed or equipped to provide childcare.
Students are expected to purchase yarns in the store, but may bring their own needles.
Class fees are non-refundable after the first class.
Classes will be cancelled if there is insufficient enrollment 3 days before the class is to start.

Bring in a sample of your knitting when you meet with the instructor; your project may involve beginning work before the class starts (for example, if you will be working on a sweater with a ribbed bottom and several inches of stockinette stitch) so that class time can be spent working on the challenging aspects of your project.
