PURLS OF WISDOM: BEGINNER KNITTING

We'll talk about how to read a pattern, how to shop for yarn and supplies, how to fix mistakes--in short, everything you need to know, so you won't throw down your needles in needless frustration halfway through a project!

Date: September 13, Saturdays
Time: 2pm - 5pm

Price: $65.00 + GST

Toe-up sock construction--never run out of yarn again!
