If you've been waiting to learn knitting for the first time, freshen up some old skills, or move beyond the scarf, be sure to sign up for our Boot Camp Series. There are four classes, broken up into two sessions. In Boot Camp 1 & 2, you will learn how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off, and you will make two cotton dishcloths. In Boot Camp 3 & 4, you will learn how to take gauge, read a pattern, and knit in the round on circular and double-pointed needles to make a cute hat. As a special offer this session, we are discounting the class fee if you bring a friend! We have all of the supplies you need available in the shop!

Fall into Socks!
Knitting on the Square is hosting a Knitting Workshop every Saturday morning from 10 to 12. We will help you through every step of making a sweater, a pair of socks, or any other project, whether it be your first time or just a special challenge. Knit at your own pace, and just come on the weeks when you need help. There is no need to pre-register for this class.
In response to several requests for sock classes, we have decided to theme our workshops for the season as Fall into Socks! This is the perfect oppurtunity to join others in making your first pair of socks or learning a new construction technique. Feel free to bring any project for help, but socks are especially encouraged!
Saturday Knitting Workshop

Are you interested in learning how to spin your own yarn? Sierra teaches spinning workshops every Thursday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30. You can bring your own wheel or drop spindle, rent one of Sierra's wheels, or purchase a Kundert drop spindle here at the store. We have a few unspun fibers for you to work with as well from Frabjous Fibers, Tomboy Yarns, and local spinner/dyer Linda Koch. Workshops are limited to 5 students each week, so give us a call and sign up!
Spinning Workshops
every Thursday 3:30 to 5:30
class fee $30
You can sign up for class by calling or emailing the shop, but your space will not be reserved until you have paid your class fee. After that, if you need to cancel, you will only be able to get a refund of your class fee if you cancel two weeks or more before the class begins. This helps us schedule more classes for you, and ensures that people are not turned away from a class when there is room! Thank you.
Come in any time for help with your project, or schedule a private lesson by calling the shop. Private lessons are $20 per hour per student, and can be for one to six students.
Sit and knit anytime, make your own group, or come to our established groups: Tuesdays 10 to 4, Wednesdays 10 to 4, or Thursdays 5 to 8.
