Class and Sit and Stitch Schedules

As classes become available, we will post them here on our website.  Cost for classes of 3 or more sessions is $10 for the entire knit/crochet class (that's $1.66 per hour for a three session class to put it in perspective) and is due at registration to reserve your spot.  Please call the shop (309) 663-9031 or visit to register.  Class sizes are generally limited to 4 persons.



Sit and Stitch Social Stitching Nights

Join us for friendship and stitching 6:30pm til 8:30pm every Tuesday evening at the shop.  This is a great time to relax and knit, crochet, needlepoint, or cross stitch.  The register is open during Sit and Stitch for any "must haves"  that crop up!
