Sit & Stitch |
|
Bring your knitting, crocheting, or needlework and join us. If you need help with a pattern or fixing a mistake, I’ll be glad to help you. What Sit & Stitch isn't Sit & Stitch is not a substitute for Knitting 1 or Crochet 1. If you want to knit something but don't already know how to knit, then we should get together in a Knitting 1 class first. If you want to crochet something but don't already know how to crochet, then contact me for a private lesson. Sit & Stitch is not a substitute for a project class that is already offered. However, anyone is welcome to come to Sit & Stitch for follow up in any of the classes that they've attended or to ask for help with a pattern. |

Knitting 1 covers instruction in the cast on, knit, purl and bind off stitches.

Build Your Own Class |
|
I do my best to schedule a variety of classes and to add project classes that my students have been asking for. But if a class you would like to take doesn't fit in your schedule, or if I don't have a class you were wishing for, you have the opportunity to build you own class.
If you can gather several friends (a minimum of four students total) I can find a time to make a class work (availability permitting). Just send me an email with the class you would like, the names and numbers of your group that would like to participate, and a couple of options of times.
I'll usually contact you within a week of submission, and do my best to make it work. Advance payment is required. |

Private lessons are also available at a slightly higher rate. Please contact me for more information and to schedule a mutually agreeable time. |
