Cat & Cookie & Jared, too

Cat Bordhi, Cookie A., and Jared Flood are coming to City Knitting to conduct workshops. Be sure to check our classes page for details.

Cat will offer a 10:00-5:00 class on Tuesday, August 26, and another on Wednesday, August 27. There are a few spots left in each.

Since we are open on Tuesdays until 9:00 pm, and since some of you signed up for Cat’s second class have some homework to do, we invite you to Cat Bordhi study hall. During Tuesday nights in July, get your baby sock knitting homework done and get to know your future classmates at the same time.

Cookie will be here for an afternoon class on Friday, October 10, and morning and afternoon classes on Saturday, October 11. All classes are filled, but we want to build a waiting list. Details are posted on our classes page.

Jared Flood, whose Brooklyn Tweed knitting blog we enjoy so much, will be at City Knitting Friday and Saturday, November 7 & 8. Three classes and a lecture are planned!

L.N.Y.P.

Mark your calendars for the next LNYP on Friday, October 10, when Cookie A will be able to join us for a pattern signing event.
