Arm Knitting
Arm knitting was so much fun! I thought I'd be nervous and lost, coming in without muck knitting experience, but the instructor made the whole experience comfortable and easy to follow. I loved that I was able to make something I could take home with me and wear, then take it apart and make something new again with the yarn from class as practice. I was excited to meet new people after such a long hiatus from social activities and learn a new skill in the afternoon. Would be thrilled to take more classes at this location. -

Chunky Knit Blanket & Wine Workshop
Due to Coronavirus, Justine was limited to teaching just me and my girlfriend. She was extremely friendly and we enjoyed casually talking with her, while making our beautiful blankets. Highly recommend this class, and this instructor -- it's really good value! -
Chunky Knit Blanket & Wine Workshop
Awesome -
Chunky Knit Blanket & Wine Workshop
The teacher is very patient in showing me how to knit the chunky yarn into a blanket. The class is overcrowded. There really should be 2 students instead of 4 people per table. It was difficult to share the space without interruptions and distractions when the person sitting next to you had their arms in your working space hovering over your blanket and you had to wait for her to finish before you could continue working on your blanket. I give it 5 stars for the professionalism of the staff and the clean area. -
Chunky Knit Blanket & Wine Workshop
I signed up for this class with 3 other friends to celebrate our friends birthday and we had a blast. Everyone’s blanket turned out beautiful. You learn 4 different knots to produce a super soft blanket over 2-3 hours. We had a mix of serious crafters and novices and everyone was equal parts engaged and relaxed in their project. The only thing that could have been better was a bit more space to work- the blankets get pretty long and can start to droop off the table. That said, I would (and have) recommend this class for groups of friends, coworkers or family to take as it’s something interactive and social. -

Knitting 2
Darrin is a great teacher - knowledgeable, very enthusiastic and encouraging. There were only 5 people in the class so he gave us plenty of individual attention. I'm slow to pick up new knitting skills but Darrin is very good at making you want to learn and not feel like a complete idiot. Lion Brand is a wonderful shop so the atmosphere is very pleasant. I'm going back for another class as soon as I master the skills I just learned. -
Knitting 1
Although I was a little more advanced than a true beginner, I loved this Knitting 1 class. I was able to work with the shop to switch my scheduled class day and ended up taking a later class with Edita. She was fabulous! So patient and kind with a levels of abilities. I am absolutely going to sign up for another class with her!
