Our fall schedule is starting to fill up with fab classes. I'm really excited about our Elizabeth Zimmerman series taught by Cheryl Oberle. I'm so happy she has taken time out of her busy schedule to teach for POSH. Yay!!! Here's a taste of what is going on. More classes & dates are being confirmed as we speak, so keep checking the blog & website.

Before there were pattern books, lace stitches were recorded in beautifully knit samplers that were passed from knitter to knitter. Spend a day learning to knit lace and begin your own heirloom sampler. You may choose to sample several patterns or to concentrate on advancing your skills and understanding of lace knitting.
