CLUB
"The Knitter's HandBook" Club (Sundays)
Ongoing Sundays, 11a.m. - 1p.m.
Join us on Sunday
mornings as we work section by section through "The Knitter's Handbook."
We'll cover all of the technical maneuvers and build skills you never knew
you had. We'll knit progressively through the book, so attend as you
like, as we move forward through the material. This is a peer-group, study-group like
atmosphere, and intended for those interested in regularly attending most, if not
all of the meetings to "complete" the book. Regular technical help
to customers will be offered in the store on these days after 1 p.m. 2 hr.
