Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions

For any of these challenges we offer you one brilliant solution:  knitting!!!

Yes, come to this 4 evening session class and Arachne your way to relaxation, warmth, creative expression, and easy gifts for newly made humans (or preexisting nice ones).

 Day 1: Selecting a project, shopping for some threads (real threads this is not the vernacular for readymade clothing), cast on and get started!!!

Day 2: Keep knitting …

Day 3: Knit some more … tell us about your thread troubles

Day 4: How to close your stitches (and finish your product), and relishing in the pride of your lovely finished project… because knitting feels good

 Skill level: if you can hold two pencils, one in each hand, at the same time you are probably ok. 

 Cost: each person will need to provide their own needles and thread (cost varies with needle type and fiber chosen).

All variety of humans welcome. Should you have mastered knitting or should you simply wish to experiment with what actually constitutes “a knit-able fiber”… creativity is welcome.
