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.

KNITTING CLASSES:  One-time Registration at Hill Institute for crafts classes is on a Saturday in September (Fall session) and January (Spring session) at Hill Institute, 83 Pine St, Florence, MA –  for 10-week classes. My knitting classes are on Tuesdays, 5:00 – 7:00 and Wednesdays, 10:00 – 12noon, each $80.  These are “bring your own project” classes for all skill levels, including learn to knit, get help finding a new project, and get assistance as needed on a project you’re already working on. See the Hill Institute website for exact times and registration dates.

Fall 2022 Tuesday class has been cancelled due to low enrollment.  Wednesday class is full.

I am vaccinated, and I expect that we will all wear masks during classes, be seated at tables with adequate spacing, and I’ll open windows during good weather.
