Greetings!
The new year is just around the corner, which means we're also coming up on a new month for classes, too. Get out your 2012 calendar and block in some time for yourself to learn a new technique or tackle your first sweater. Holiday hint: A Gift Certificate for the the amount of a class fee would make a great gift for a fellow knitter! (Gift certificates are available in any amount.) January classes begin the second week of the month (to give the holiday excitement a chance to subside...) Highlights include:
