Carry the cozy rhythm of handwork into the winter months as we deepen our knitting practice and explore new seasonal crafts with wool and natural materials.

This 10-week session welcomes both returning students and new friends joining us for the first time. Returning students will continue their knitting projects and refine their skills, while new students will receive step-by-step guidance to catch up and feel right at home in our circle.

✨ Snack & gratitude
✨ Open work period for knitting and side projects
