Classes!!

Lots of people have asked if we are going to teach knitting or crochet classes at The Knitting Nest.  The answer is an enthusiastic YES!!  Patrick and I are looking forward to sharing our passion for fiber arts with others through classes.

Our first Beginning Knitting class will meet September 12, 19, and 26 from 7-9pm.  You don’t need any knitting experience to take this class.  By the end of the class, you will have learned to cast on, knit, purl, bind off, and block, and you will have made a scarf.  The class costs $30 and you will need to purchase the TNNA How To Knit book and a skein of worsted weight yarn (wool, wool/acrylic, acrylic, or acrylic/nylon), and size 7, 8, or 9 needles (if you don’t already own them).  Patrick Martin and Linda Neuroth will teach this class and I will be there to assist.  Call or stop by The Knitting Nest (at (920) 862-0111) or email info@wegaknittingnest.com to register for the class.  We do need for you to pay for the class at the time you register.

Will we have other classes?  YES!!  Patrick and I are planning out our next few classes right now.  Most classes will be project-based, but we will offer a one session Knitting Refresher course and a one session How To Fix Knitting Mistakes.  All of the classes will be advertised on the website – www.wegaknittingnest.com.

Is there a particular skill you’d like to learn or a particular project you’d like help with?  Leave a comment here or on Facebook.  We value your input as we develop a schedule of classes that meets your needs!
