Upcoming Classes

Knit ONE

Saturdays, March 31, April 7 and April 21 (skipping a week between the 2nd and 3rd class)

Learn a lifelong skill with our pro Becky, who has taught beginning knitters in Billings for the past 10 years. Many of you will recognize her as the former owner of Billings Gymnastics School and know that she is comfortable teaching all types of learners. According to Becky, "the lightbulb really goes off between the second and third class". In this series of 3 classes (six hours of instruction) you will cover the anatomy of a stitch and how to recognize Knits and Purls, while following a pattern with knitting terminology. You will also be exposed to reading a chart, another component of pattern reading. Finish the class with tips and tricks, ideas and patterns to confidently move on to your next project!
