Beginning Knitting

We’re naming The Spa Cloth Series after our beginning knitter Kathleen who gave us this idea. As a beginner, Kathleen wanted to practice her knits & purls, so she picked up a spa cloth pattern and whipped through it. In honor of Kathleen, who is now headed toward PRO status, we begin this Spa Cloth series. Welcome to the Snowbank. This spa cloth is bumpy to help exfoliate the skin. Pair it with our Tasha’s Own Williamsburg soaps, and you have the perfect gift for birthday, or the Holidays! Snowbank is a next-step beginner knitter and will teach you how to switch between knits & purls while learning the basics of reading a chart. This 1-session class will taught by Yarnista & Owner Susan Dickerson and will be held 1 to 3 pm Monday, June 5, and again from 2 to 4 pm Saturday, June 24.

All materials can be purchased for 10% off after registering by stopping by or calling us at (757) 345-3655. Class is limited to 6.
