New! Drop-in beginner knit & crochet group classes.
Sundays 10:00-11:30am
Mondays 4:00-5:30pm
COST: $30/session or $100 for a four session pass.
Register as a drop-in student here.
This class offers basic instruction in knitting and crochet for people ages 6 to adult. Both skills will be offered at every class, and you can learn either or both.
Come when you can and learn at your own pace. I'll meet you where you're at. Once registered, you can come to whatever session(s) fit your schedule. Nothing fits? Email me at lana@woolandthimble.com and let's figure something out.
This class continues through the summer, with just a short break in late July and early August, and then resumes in the fall for year-round learning!
You'll receive a confirmation email from me within 2 business days. (Not automated, I'm a human!)
Classes are hosted at my home studio in Ferndale, WA. This email will contain the exact address.
Buy a four session drop-in pass for $100 and save $20 compared with the single-session rate. (optional)
Class passes are managed digitally - each time you purchase a pass or use a session, you'll get an email with a confirmation and your remaining balance.
Classes never expire!
Let me know when you're planning to stop by! (optional but very helpful, email lana@woolandthimble.com)
If you don't have a class pass, pay $30 per session at the door. I take cash, check, Venmo, or Apple Cash.
Make something cool!
Crochet skills taught include (but are not limited to): chaining, single and double crochet, increasing and decreasing, working in both rows and rounds, getting started with reading charts and patterns, and finishing/weaving in ends.
Knitting skills taught include (but are not limited to): casting on and binding off, knit stitch, purl stitch, increasing and decreasing, basic stitch combinations (ribbing, seed stitch), getting started with reading charts and patterns, and finishing/weaving in ends.
You don't need to have yarn, hooks or needles, or a project in mind - I have everything you need to get started. Feel free to bring your own if you have them, though.
In my experience, children younger than 6 may need more attention than I can provide in a group setting, but I'm happy to have a conversation if you think your child is ready. I know from personal experience that finding affordable child care can be a barrier to seeking out this kind of community and self-care, so younger children are welcome to come and play quietly while you and/or a sibling joins the class! My kids have lots of toys. :) No drop-offs, please: adults must remain with children for the duration of the class.
