Upcoming Classes

It’s a great time to take a knitting class. I am amazed at what I learn from a class. I almost always pick up something new. Here is a lineup of the classes coming up this week and next at Kiwi Knitting. If you cannot make one of these we can always schedule a private lesson. Check out the classes at www.KiwiKnitting.com for more. Classes are listed under Knitters Kamp and in the Newsletter.
