This will be an on going workshop.  You can join in at any time.  Take one class or take them all!  You can  take individual classes depending on your skill needs.  This workshop is sure to help you gain the comfidence you need to become a better knitter!

Supplies:  Multi-color afghan will need 12 skiens of SimpliWorsted.  One-color Afghan will need 10 skeins of SimpliWorsted.  If you choose to make the one-color afghan, you will need to order the yarn in advance to ensure matching dye lots.  24" US 10 circular needle, and Building Blocks Pattern Book.  All supplies are 10% off!


Every pattern in the "Building Blocks" book focuses on the development of a skill while knitting a lovely square. Each square, or block, builds upon the skills learned in the previous patterns, giving knitters more confidence, knowledge and skill.   You will master each technique before moving to a more advanced concept.  At the completion of the series, the reward is an abundance of knitting know-how along with 12 gorgeous blocks to assemble into a sampler afghan.  This could be the year you will blossom from a beginner knitter to a confident knitter!

This is a skill building workshop.  Students need to know how to knit, purl, cast on, and bind off
