COMMUNITY & classes

Now that the physical store has closed, Liz will post community events and her own classes from time to time, including a social knit & crafts circle year-round. See details below.

HILL INSTITUTE CLASSES:  In-person Registration at Hill Institute for crafts classes is on one Saturday morning in September (Fall session) and one Saturday morning in January (Spring session) at Hill Institute, 83 Pine St, Florence, MA. If classes don’t fill immediately, you may come to the office the following week to register. See the Hill Institute website for exact class times and registration dates. 

Hill Institute Classes

Registration at Hill Institute, 83 Pine St, Florence, MA is in person,  Sat. September 6, 2025, from 7:30 – 10:00.
 
My 3 knitting classes are:

* Learn to Knit:  Wed. Sept 17, 9:00am – 12noon &  Fri. Sept 19, 9:00am – 12noon – Two-day workshop, 6 hours total $40.  Six hours will get you started with how to cast on, knit, and bind off.  This runs the Friday before “Project Knitting” classes start, so is a prerequisite for joining those classes if you don’t know how to knit (or need to relearn) and want to register for Project Knitting.  Register for both at the same time.

* Project Knitting, for students who already know how to knit and like to have help with techniques or tricky patterns. This is a ‘bring your own project” class for skill levels from advanced beginner to experienced.  Demos and handouts are included. 

* Section 1:  Wed 10am – 12pm 10 weeks, $100 – begins Sept 24

* Section 3:  Thurs 10am – 12pm 10 weeks, $100 – begins Sept 25

There is also a Project Knitting Section 2, being taught by Breanna Lynch,  Wed. 5:00 – 7:00 pm, 10 weeks. 

  • I will not be teaching the one-day workshops Fix Your Stitches and Knit Pattern & Chart Reading this Fall.
I hope to see many of you in the Fall.
Enjoy your knitting and be kind.

EVENTS

 

~~  ONGOING  ~~

The public Crafts Circle at the Tilton Library in South Deerfield, MA, is on hold. Some of us have decided to form a private group (similar to a book group) in a home, and I encourage you to consider forming your own group, or finding one at a senior center or library.  Tilton Library is closed but renovations are almost finished!  We look forward to it opening in late summer 2025. Keep on knitting!

    I am very interested in a tatting class but I will be out of the area until February. Early spring is best for me.

    I’m looking for an “intro to weaving” class. I know nothing, but have been in awe of some of the fiber art I’ve seen people create, and I want to dabble a little to see if this is something I’d like to pursue. Any ideas?
