The second swatch is finally finished, one in crochet and one in knit. Come in and pick up the pattern and view the finished swatches.
We will have a new swatch every month from March 22 until December. If you complete all of the swatches you will have completed a throw just in time for holiday gift giving or to keep you warm while curled up with your knitting. We will then have a seam it up party, were you will learn about blocking and seaming

Swatches are very portable, great for traveling or working on in between outdoor actives!

You will learn how to measure gauge, new stitch patterns, pattern reading, and improve your knitting and crocheting skills.

You can pick up the pattern any time. If you need help getting started times are listed below.

Pattern help times are: Tuesdays 12:30pm-2pm, Thursdays 7:30pm- 9pm, and Saturdays 2pm-3:30pm

If you did not do the first swatch it’s not too late. You may still begin our swatch of the month.
