Saturday, April 20 | 10 am-4 pm

Instructor: Rachel Montroy

Using basic knitting stitches, learn how to knit in three dimensions! Participants will begin the day by knitting a mushroom and then work on their own project with a variety of provided patterns. No prior knitting experience is necessary, but this is a great class for anyone excited to tackle some challenging designs. The instructor will be in touch before the workshop about which knitting needles and yarn participants will need to bring to the class.
