 Stitch 'n Inch will continue with Colette Pispisa, our teacher of all things knitted. We, now, have an expert crochet teacher as well. Her name is Betty Joseph. So please come and say hello to these friendly ladies today. Come to learn or just to socialize! And check out their Newark Knitting group page on Ravelry.com!
They will be meeting in our Conference Room, on every other Saturday. You may bring your own needles, or hooks, to learn, or borrow some straight needles that we have. We, also, have extra yarn. Colette is proficient at using double-pointed needles, which we don't have for borrowing. So, if you want to learn how to make neat hats and/or socks, buy yourself a set of these.
