Join us for a hands-on workshop designed for intermediate knitters ready to explore the delicate beauty of lace knitting.

Unravel the mystery of charted patterns while knitting a small lace pattern.

This is not a beginner’s class—participants should already be comfortable with basic knitting techniques.
