Drop-In Classes
We also offer paid drop-in classes to help you with a particular project. Because these classes are on going, your sessions do not have to be used consecutively. Just take your time and use the sessions when you need them. You can pay as you go, or book 4 sessions at a time for a reduced rate. Your sessions will not be marked as used until you come in!
Sweater School – For Knitter’s
Finally get over your fear of sweater knitting & let us help you every step of the way. You can bring a pattern you always wanted to try, or we can help you find the perfect pattern. In the first session you will be measured and we will discuss how to adapt an existing pattern to fit you perfectly, or (if you have previous sweater knitting experience) how to design a simple sweater for yourself. We will walk you through yarn selection & swatching. In the following three sessions you will come back and work through your sweater from cast on to finishing.

Project Knitting and Crochet
ave a unfinished project that you need help completing? Want to learn a new technique or start a brand new project. Come work with Andrea on any project you like. Pair this with the free follow up of the Crochet Doctor on Tuesday nights & the Knitting Doctor on Wednesday nights, and you’ll get that special project finished in no time.
