Come experience what I dare call my method of meditation... Now, I ain't saying I'm a guru... There is just something melodic and hypnotic, about the rhythmic clicking of needles and the feel of the yarn running through the fingers. My mother and grandmother passed on knitting, crocheting and more to me... I want to share it with all those willing to try. You will be equipped to cast on and off stitches, knit and purl and try several stitching patterns- as many as time permits. It's my goal to focus on technique and build repertoire for you to make your own 'choreos'... Go at your own pace... these are ongoing series of sessions facilitated by Carla. You will learn and practice stitches and begin your collection of swatches and patterns- these are great references later... as you progress and design.
