     This 2-hour workshop is focused on building your trouble-shooting skill set. Together we will break down the way that knit fabric is constructed so that students will begin to read their knitting and diagnose their own mistakes. Then we’ll practice a variety of methods to fix some of the most common problems knitters run into.

    Teacher for this class is Hadley Mendoza Miklos.

    Knitting for beginners

    I loved the beginner course! It’s 2 hours which is the right amount of time to teach something as complex as knitting. It seems like a long time but it’s not. Also, the steps were taught with ease and patients. The teachers were so understanding and really want to help you succeed :)

    I have fallen in love with knitting!!

    Amazing class for more than just beginners

    I have been knitting, off and on, for years, but never anything too difficult. When I made mistakes I ripped out the whole thing and started over. After taking this class I now understand how the actual knitting process works, how to figure out how and where I make mistakes, and how to fix them. This has not only given me the confidence to start projects I have that have been sitting around for a while, but to take more classes! Hadley is a wonderful instructor, very thorough, and I hope she is teaching the other classes I am signing up for!
    Thank you Hadley and thank you Apricot Yarn and Supply!
