Classes

--------UPDATED AUGUST 21, 2008--------

KnitWitz classes require advance registration and payment of the class fee, which you can do through the website by scrolling to the bottom of this page.

We schedule classes with independent instructors who must plan ahead to teach for us, and as a result class sizes are limited and class fees are nonrefundable.

A surcharge of $5 will be added to class fees for registration on the day of the class, if space permits. Materials fees vary depending on yarn choices.

CLASSES & KNITWITZ EVENTS INCLUDE (check list often!):

MIDNIGHT KNIT-IN - The next Midnight Knit is Saturday, August 23rd, from 6 to midnight. Dinner and dessert are provided! There is a cover fee of $10 to attend.
