Winter 2012 CLASSES*
Winter is still here, and our schedule of classes are continuing, and hoping for a real Spring to arrive soon. The two additional classes in the Learn to Knit series- Next Steps and Beyond have proven to be very popular. Each month we will offer the series. Along with the Learn to Knit series there are classes on Continental Knitting, Crochet & crochet extended, and Brioche , Lace, along with the return of Guaranteed Fit and Adult Fiber Camp.
Don't forget that from 5 - 8 pm every Thursday is Social Knitting where there is good camaraderie and help if you need it. Mini lessons are $5 if needed. In addition, you can come in on Saturday from 10 - 3 to knit with us, too.

class is for anyone who needs help with a project. You will receive
individual attention to your project while hearing the "problems" of
others in the class being addressed. Ewe Knitting is structured to fit
into your schedule - you can come every week, every other week, or
whenever your schedule allows. No project is too small or too large.Even if you aren't working on the same project as someone else, you
might want to "listen in" for a future project!
There are only 2 rules:
1) you must have purchased the yarn at Clever Ewe
and
2) you need to make a reservation 24 hours in advance (so that we have enough staff
present to help).
To attend a Ewe Knit session purchase a Ewe Knit Punch Card for $50, and that will entitle you to 6 visits, with no expiration date.
