Our introduction classes are small - six students maximum. Our 1.5 hour sessions are spread out over three weeks.  This format ensures that you will be able to successfully jumpstart your knitting hobby and learn all of the basics. You will start your very first ribbed scarf!

Three 1.5 hour classes
