Classes

I will be teaching both right-handed and left-handed techniques.

 

CLASS POLICIES:

  • Class space is limited so reservations are a must.   Most classes require homework to be completed before the next scheduled class.  If you know that you will be unable to attend any or all of the classes, or complete the homework, you should consider waiting until the class is offered again.  To make a reservation, you must pay the class fee in advance.  Please make your reservation as soon as possible, so you are guaranteed a seat.
  • Each class is based on a specific project or list of skills.  If you complete the project or master the skills early, the class will be released early.
  • Private classes can be arranged as time permits for $25.00 an hour..
  • Class attendees MUST select the materials for their projects prior to the beginning of the first class, so that classes will start on time.
  • Yarn for classes MUST be purchased at Knit Your Dreams.
  • If you are taking a class, please arrange for child care outside of class, so that you and others will not be distracted.
  • If you are ill, or have an ill child home from school, "PLEASE" call and schedule a make-up class.
  • Please silence you cell phone while you are in the classroom.
