Knitting Lessons
Saturday. 23 January
We are offering a special edition of our Knitting workshop this Saturday. For $5, you receive a small quantity of yarn, you make a pair of knitting needles, and our knitters show you the basics. For knitters who are past the complete and utter beginner stage, who have a project they could use a bit of help on, are welcome to bring it in. Marilyn, who says she has lots of experience in making, and correcting, knitting mistakes, can even advise on adjusting your project if it seems to be coming unstitched or missknit.
When the Lesson is over you may take home your partially knit piece, a bit of yarn, and your own knitting needles, to continue knitting later.
Two of our knitters are Marilyn Spearin, docent, above, and Catherine Watts, docent, below.
