the end there will be a photography class on how to take trendy
beautiful images of your finished shawl. Come join us!

it “hot right now”

Prerequisites: Participants must be at an intermediate or higher level
of knitting. Participants must be able to finish a shawl within 2
weeks of the course. It will be helpful if participants have a good

the class, but a minimum of 1 – 32” needle and 1-2 balls of yarn will
