2018 Rock the Block Club is starting up again!
Is 2018 your year to pick up some new knitting or crochet skills? Admit Ewe Knit is starting up two new afghan Block-of-the-Month Clubs! Whether you’re a knitter or a crocheter, we have a club for you! If you are brand new to these skills, here is a great opportunity to work on them with the benefit of an instructor. If you're more experienced and just looking for an ongoing project and a like-minded group, this is for you, too! At the end of the year, not only do you have a bunch of new skills in your knitting or crochet toolbox, but twelve unique squares ready to join into an afghan (or anything else that blocks will make). BE CREATIVE!
Each meeting will be two hours in length. The first hour will be for those who require instruction in the technique. The "class" portion of the club will be limited to a maximum of 6 students and entail a class fee. The second hour of the meeting will be the Knit-along/Crochet-along portion of the club, where the students can practice and those who don't require instruction can join us and work on that month's square.
Joining one of our Block Clubs costs just $15 per month. Call 919-876-4640, or click on the link below, to sign up now on the Admit Ewe Knit calendar website!
