Two exceptions to that rule are Beginning Knitting and Beginning Crochet - If you are signed up for those we will teach the class with a single student if necessary.Supplies are needed for all classes and a supply list will be furnished when you register. The class fee covers instruction only. You will receive a 10% discount on all supplies needed for the class. We would appreciate if you select Knitting Next Door for your supplies.
