    Please note that if you are signing up on the day of the class, please call the shop (207-869-5280) to make sure the class is happening!

    Frustrated with a particular project or technique?  Made a mistake but can't fix it?  Picking up an older project (UFO - unfinished object) and don't know where to start?  You're not alone!

    Mother of Purl has created an ongoing weekly class for those of you that need support as you work through your knitting projects. It's designed to help you learn how to fix mistakes, identify where you are in a pattern, try new things with confidence and guide you through hiccups in your projects.  We want you to learn to solve your own knitting problems and become a more confident knitter.

    We call it Guided Knitting.  It's a class you can sign-up for when you need it, or come every week to get you through a difficult project.  You’ll have an experienced knitter at your disposal for 2 hours to get you going and help keep you on track.  Class size is limited so we make sure you get the attention you need.

    This class will be ongoing every Tuesday afternoon from 1:00-3:00pm.  Cost is $25 per session and participants must register and pay for specific dates. There will be 4 spots available each week.  This is NOT a drop-in class, so you must register in advance.  You can sign up for one session when you need it or participate on a regular basis, it's up to you.

    Please note: this class is not designed to teach knitting to non-knitters, but to support those already knitting.  See our separate Learn to Knit Basics class if that's what you need.

    Cancellation Policy for Classes:
    Classes may be cancelled for a full refund if we are notified by PHONE (207-869-5280) at least 48 hours in advance of the start of the class.  If you cancel after the 48 hours, then you will only get a refund if we are able to fill your spot.
