Barbara Sue and Cat Bordhi (herself!) at TNNA in San Diego.
We offer classes in needlepoint, knitting and crochet for all skill levels.
We go out of our way - all the way to San Diego, in fact - to be sure our classes are the best. Through The National Needlearts Association, we take classes from top industry professionals. We've taken classes from the fiber-world rock stars, and we're delighted to bring their creative and technical insights to the store. You'll learn what we've learned from the likes of...
Cat Borhdi - innovative sock architecture and techniques; Melissa Leapman - creative cable designs; Sally Melville - color work; Lucy Neatby - finishing garments and fixing mistakes; Elise Duvekot - Knit One Below, the latest knitting innovation; Phillipa Turnbull - elegant and articulate crewel work; Rosalie Peters-Bourque - advanced needlepoint technique.
Here's what's on tap this spring. If you don't see what you want when you want it, private lessons can be arranged - just give us a call.
