Knit a blanket, 1 square at a time. Great class for an adventurous beginner who wants to improve their skills!

“Building Blocks” is a series of 12 fun patterns that will build your knitting skills. Starting with simple knit and purl stitches, your confidence will grow as you progress through several major knitting principles. Each block focuses on new stitches and techniques in a sequential fashion that “builds” upon the previously learned skill.

At the end of the series, the knitter is rewarded with an abundance of knitting know-how and 12 beautiful squares to assemble into a sampler afghan or baby blanket.

Learn a bunch of fun new techniques with some fun folks! Class meets once a month and is only $60 for the WHOLE YEAR! Thats $5 per class if you can believe it:) You can be a very new knitter for this class or you can be more experienced and just want someone to hold your feet to the fire!

Some people buy all the yarn up front, and some buy a different skein each month! The choice is yours! 

We have put together kits for you to make it easier! Find them here.



If you want to use a different yarn or other colors thats great! You may need to special order. We order on the 1st and 15th of the month, and it takes about 10 days to get yarn in stock! So if you can order by December 15th, we'll have plenty of time to get your yarn in for the first class.

Any questions about the yarn, please call us!
