INTRODUCING THE 12×12 MONTHLY MOTIF!

by Kate Preston

(November’s motif, Cabled Eyelets, is pictured above.)

First Tuesday of Every Month beginning November 1st at 7:30pm

• Knit a beautiful 12″x12″ square with a different stitch motif each month. 
• After you complete 12 squares, join them all together to create a gorgeous blanket you will be so proud of. 

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN THE 12×12 MONTHLY MOTIF GROUP:

• Empower yourself as a knitter; you will no longer be intimidated by tough knitting patterns.
• Learn every knitting pattern abbreviation I can find and the needle techniques to complete it.
• Learn to knit cables, lace, bobbles, special ribbing, various increases and decreases, to read difficult knitting charts, advanced patterns and much more!
• Use the stitch patterns you learn to create other special knitted items like scarves, baby blankets, cowls, etc. 
• If you have a busy schedule, the 12×12 monthly group is perfect.  Just once a month – it is enough knitting to keep it fresh, and you will still learn a ton.
• I took a class like this.  You will become a great knitter.  It works – I promise!  🙂

All you need to know to join the 12×12 group are the knit and purl stitches. 

Make-up classes available if you need to miss a class.

$25 per month or 5 for $100 (+ supplies)  Includes extra-help when you need it.
