Knit-a-Bit Classes

It is hard not to compare Knit-A-Bit’s class schedule with the Thanksgiving meal.

Like the annual November feast, there is a lot of preparation. We slave away in the kitchen, chopping, dicing, frying, simmering, and roasting. We cook all kinds of dishes in the hopes of appealing to Aunt Mabel, our sister-in-law’s cousin, and her vegan boyfriend. We get the table set, put the turkey and the fixings out, call in our guests...and the meal is consumed in 15 minutes.

Some of the dishes are gone and some are untasted, but generally the participants can be found sprawled in a state of deep contentment. And of course, there will be leftovers.

We will surely offer some classes that you have been anxious to try, some that you already know, some that you like but, alas, there is no room left on the plate. Classes can fill up and disappear as fast as those sweet potato with marshmallows. If the class you had your eye on is “consumed,” try something else, you may just find you have a new favorite!

Special Classes

On October 23, 2010 Gwen Bortner, designer and owner of Knitability, will present two classes at Knit-a-Bit:

The first, Knit a Masterpiece from Leftover Yarns will help you make something beautiful from those bits and pieces and odd skeins. The second, Managing Mistakes is for knitters of ALL levels who feel like they spend more time ripping than knitting. Learn to recognize, analyze, and most importantly, FIX common knitting mistakes, often without ripping out! Each class will be three hours.

Gwen will also be available for a book signing from 1pm - 2pm. Call Knit-a-bit for more details and to reserve your space for one or both of these fabulous opportunities.

$65.00 for one class

$120.00 for both classes
