Have you always wanted to knit but don't think you are coordinated enough or have the dexterity to do it? Do you find that knitting with needles is hard on your hands? Whether you already know how to knit or are new to knitting, this is the way to go. Why not join in the fun as our own SSC resident knitter Suzie O’Clair teaches us how to knit a slouchy hat and/or a scarf using a round loom. It is quick and easy and can be done anywhere. During these classes you will learn multiple patterns and techniques. This class is perfect for newbies and more experienced knitters and will be held in the warm cozy knitting atmosphere of Machias’ own “Woolez of Maine.” This class is being repeated due to popular demand so sign up early.
Instructor: Suzie O'Clair has been very interested in all kinds of artistic venues: weaving, enameling, sandblasting, fabric arts and working with wood. She has always wanted to learn to crochet or knit and after finding knitting on the round and long looms, realized that the ease of working with this type of knitting can be done by people of all ages.
