So you've settled into your favorite knitting chair, the one with the best light, and flipped on your favorite TV show. Life is good. You're knitting and watching and knitting and......oh dear....something isn't quite right. During that really exciting part of the show you did, or didn't do, something with your knitting and now you aren't sure how to proceed. Time for Creative Knit!!
It's time for a new project and you are so excited about picking up the needles and casting on, but is this project a little beyond your skill level? You hem and haw and pick up yarn and put it back. You really want to stretch yourself, but what if you get stuck? Creative Knit to the rescue!
Creative Knit was designed to supply knitters with questions a place to come for answers. Staffed with talented, patient, and understanding people, you can come once, or make it a weekly part of your knitting life. Creative Knit is held Monday and Wednesday from 1:00 to 3:00 and Wednesday evening from 6:30 - 8:30. The day sessions are staffed by the amazing Nancy (who you met in my last post) and Becky lends a hand when needed. The Wednesday evening class is team taught by Laura and EJ.
Which brings me to two new people to meet! This is Laura. I always say that Laura knits in her sleep, because she is the most prolific knitter I know, especially considering she is the mother of two precious little ones (and a new dog!). And cool, she knits the coolest stuff!! Have you seen the messenger bag hanging behind the counter with all the little i-cords on the front? That was Laura. As mentioned, Laura teaches the Wednesday evening Creative Knit, but also works the retail floor on Saturdays. Come and let her "you can do it" attitude work for you.
Meet EJ. (Remember you can click on any of the blog pictures for a bigger view.) She knits, spins, sews, and lights up a room when she enters it. EJ is just full of bright, happy energy and is thrilled to help you with your knitting Wednesday evenings at Creative Knit. She also teaches the Lost Point and San Francisco Nights shawl classes. (Being a big shawl fan, this impresses me no end.) EJ is a retired teacher and those teaching skills definitely work in your favor. Her recently retired husband, Wally, is a talented woodworker and has been providing the shop with lovely drop spindles and lucets. We are so lucky to have them as part of our fiber family.
Creative Knit is a come-as-needed class, so there is no need to reserve a class space. You can come for one session for $15, or sign up for a block of 6 for $60 that you can use as needed. Also remember that the daily staff will be glad to lend a hand with a quick problem, AND you are welcome/encouraged to come to the shop to sit and knit any time during retail hours. We love your company!
Hello, ladies!
It's ALWAYS great seeing you on Saturdays! :D
Totally Hooked on Crochet, I am! :)
