Knitting Classes
This fall we are offering a combination of In-Person and Online classes. Our In-Person classes will be held at The Tea Cozy, in the morning before the shop is open, to provide a quieter environment for learning. Our Zoom classes have been held successfully online for several years and feature two cameras for clear viewing. Both are great options. We hope you'll join us to learn something new!
You can learn more about the instructor, Laurel Garcia at www.mycasaazul.com and find answers to frequently asked questions.
