New Year’s Day KAL – Connect

After over two years of being isolated from friends, family, and your yarn community, lets connect again in 2023!  We are kicking off the new year with a special KAL, brought to us by Olga Buraya-Kefelian. Set intentions by exploring more  knitting techniques and reconnecting with kindred crafting spirits while stitching this fun colorwork cowl. Grab your yarn and materials at the shop and join us on Sunday, January 1 from 12-4 pm in our lounge. Learn the provisional cast on and basic fair isle knitting as you start this gorgeous three color cowl. We will have an instructor available to help you! A month later we will have an opportunity to connect again in person and virtually, so we can share our finished cowls and collectively plan our next projects!
