Introduction to Lace Knitting (with charts)
This is a repeat of our sold out class from earlier this year. In this class we will be working on basic lace knitting techniques, starting with the written word and covering how to both make the stitches and back them out. As we become familiar with the knitting we will progress into making the same stitches from charts. – Only 2 spots remain open in this class!
Saturday July 27th, 1-4pm
Cost: $35, includes three patterns.
Instructor: Alissa
Did you know that you can request any class? You don’t have to wait for us to schedule it! Just give us a call and talk to Alissa, together we will pick dates and times that work for you and then we will invite others to join in the fun.
