Learn Continental Knitting!

1
Knitting for speed and efficiency! Beginner or not, this is an opportunity to add speed and consistency to your gauge. Continental style knitting (left-handed) is sometimes considered a more efficient method of knitting and many knitters find it less stressful on their hands than the traditional English (right-handed) "throwing" method. This class is perfect for "throwers" who've always wanted to learn continental knitting as well as for continental knitters, "pickers," who have struggled with the continental purl stitch. Join Suzy Roy on December 6th and master the knit and purl stitches using the continental method! Details: December 6 from 1:00 - 4:00 PM Instructor: Suzy Roy Cost: $55 Register!
