Knitting for Beginners with Tigist & Meklit
About this Event
Join us at The Alcove for a knitting workshop. We’ll teach basic knitting skills like how to handle the sewing. People will love the different kinds of ways they can learn and make their own creations!
Workshops are recommended for people ages 12 and over. Children under 12years old are welcome with parent/guardian supervision. Please get a ticket for each person (incl. all children).
The workshop is admission by donation! Suggested $20 - $30 to support facilitator fees and supplies.
