Save the date for our new Slipper Class


Slippers make a great gift, and if you haven't started your holiday knitting yet, now is the time!

Join Michele on Thursday, October 29th at 6pm to learn stranded knitting (sometimes called Fair Isle) and how to turn a heel as you knit some colorful slippers.  Stranded knitting is a technique for knitting with two different colors of yarn within the same row.  It is especially beneficial when knitting slippers due to the fact that it results in a thicker and warmer fabric than single strand knitting. Book is included  with class.
