Giant Knit Blanket Workshop Recap

Daisy McClellanComment

We had such a good time at our Giant Knit Blanket Workshop with Cara Carey Designs last night. The thick merino wool was like a cloud and the colors, so good! It was so fun learning the table knitting technique, how to source the materials, and meeting new faces.  Every student was able to finish their blanket in the class too! We had such an overwhelming response to the class we added another on Thursday June 21st at 7p. You can register for that class here. Hurry before it sells out! No knitting experience required.
