The Birthday Club
Have you been
hearing how knitting is the "new yoga" and wondering what all of the
excitement is about?
Have you been wanting to learn how to make those wonderful knitted
scarves, sweaters, purses, afghans, etc. that you see ion the Catwalk
and in the magazines, catalogues and stores?
Did you learn to knit "many years ago" but stopped, and now you want to
pick up the knitting needles again?
Well now you can because Gail Knits has regularly scheduled classes!
Come on in and learn how to knit! (Hey, guys...this means you
too!)
We offer classes
and workshops in Beginning Knitting, Finishing, Sock Knitting, Magic
Loop method, and many other fun and useful knitting techniques.
We also have classes in Crochet.
Upcoming classes are posted here on the site, but please do give us a
call to find out what classes we're offering. (You can also pick up a
print-out of the Class Schedule at the shop.)
By the way, we have "open knitting" any time the store is open. We have coffee and water. Bring your knitting, find a space at one of our 2 large tables...or on the sofa & chairs in the sunny window in the front of the store...and enjoy.

are kept to no more than 6 students. (Special Workshop class sizes vary
and the maximum number of students will be posted.)
Payment of class fees must be made at the time of reserving
class space.
Class fees are non-refundable, however, should you not be able to
attend, and notify us within 48 hours of the class, the fees can be
