Classes
The Knitorious shop is a lot of things - a good place to buy quality yarn and
knitting products, a nice place to come and visit with friends and fellow knitters,
a source of advice on those little problem areas on your latest project. Knitorious
really is a one stop shop for all your knitting needs.
But the one thing we are most proud of here at Knitorious is our classes. The group
of instructors are all very dedicated to providing you the confidence you need to
accomplish the project you have decided to undertake.
There are classes for beginners, classes for accomplished knitters who want to do
something out of the ordinary, such as felting or socks, and Knitorious will customize
classes for any group that has specific needs.
But most importantly, Knitorious classes are uniquely focused on your needs. Do you
have a group of friends that are interested in learning to knit and you would like
to all learn together? Knitorous will book classes for your group. Would you like to
make knitting an experience you share with your children? Schedule a class with your
children and you can all learn together. Knitorious is about knitting together
friendships and alliances.
