Saturdays, January 24th-March 7th (skipping February 14th)

Do you ever wish you had an expert knitter sitting next to you when things go wrong? This hands-on, multi-week class is designed to help you understand your knitting — not just follow patterns.

Together, we’ll work through Patty Lyons’ Knitting Bag of Tricks book and workbook, using them as a framework to build stronger skills, troubleshoot common issues, and gain confidence in your knitting. Each session includes guided instruction, demonstrations, and plenty of time for questions and personalized help.

This class is ideal for knitters who already know the basics and want to improve technique, consistency, and problem-solving skills.

• Common mistakes and how to fix them

• And much more!
