Some of you may have noticed we have an abundance of class offerings this fall – even more than usual. Yes, it’s true that this time of year brings out all our fibery passions, but there is also another reason for all these classes – new classrooms! Yup. Plural. Classrooms. Three of them. The renovations upstairs are complete, and we are thrilled with the results.
Our front classroom seats 10 comfortably and provides plenty of table space to layout projects, take notes, count stitches, and seam garments. The two windows provide coveted natural light by which to knit. If you’re taking a nighttime class, we’ve got you covered with plenty of lighting and even more arriving soon. I have some extra funky retro light fixtures on their way from San Fran in the next week or two.
The back classroom is a bit smaller, but still provides all the amenities found up front. A French door, allowing us to combine the two spaces for our larger workshops, separates the two rooms.
Our third space is more intimate and perfect for smaller classes. The formica kitchen fits perfectly with our mid century decor and provides enough space for 6 students to gather.
Our upstairs teaching space allows us to offer more classes overall and provide more daytime classes. And, our instructors love having space dedicated just to their students. It also gives me a quiet and secluded office where I can plot new fibre goodness to bring you all in space.
What have we done with all the freed up space downstairs, you ask? Well, we’ve expanded our yarn offerings, bolstered our book selection (it’s almost like a library in here!), and added to our collection of needles, notions, and fibre accessories. We’ve also increased the size of our lounge…we now have two plush couches, a comfy chair, ottoman, the window (which if you’re lucky, Nemo will let you share with him) and a table, all for your knitting comfort.
So, check out our class schedule and events. You’re sure to find a perfect fit for your next classroom adventure! Or, stop on by and see all the wonderful changes we’ve made. And don’t forget to bring your stitching…we’re pretty sure you’ll want to stay a while.
