We have also been preparing a fall/winter class list which we will post here on our blog and on our web site in the classes section when it is finalized.
In addition to classes, our very own Paula is hosting an experimental knitting group on the 2nd and 4th Monday of every month from 6:00 to 8:00 here at the store. Unlike classes, you do not need to sign up. It costs $10 to drop by with your project, knit with the group, and get help with the occasional problem. If you plan on attending, please let us know so we can ensure there is enough space for everyone.
If you do not have a current project, Paula and a few others will be doing a KAL (knit-a-long) with the Central Park Hoodie from Interweave. The pattern is written for many different sizes and knits to 4.5 sts/1". Please note that you will need to purchase the pattern online from Interweave.
