Or perhaps you've already made a basic hat or scarf and are ready to take on a new challenge, like learning how to cable, read a chart, or knit in the round? This class caters to all skill levels and goals! Think of this class like a group independent study focusing in knitting. Learn a cozy skill, embrace the hygge hype, and make something cool with others doing the same. We will provide some needles and yarn for folks to use while practicing new skills. Students will be responsible for bringing their own materials for individual projects. This class is for adults and teens of all skill levels.
