The Knitting Pot opened in November of 2013. It turned out to be one of the coldest winters in years - which was actually a good thing for a knitting shop! It took three months to transform the space into the welcoming, colorful, and inspiring environment it is today.
During the last 12 years we have been learning and having fun with Knitting and Crochet!
Last year, we were so excited to welcome the Sewing Studio for Kids and Adults!
Come and get inspired by all the color and the energy of this place. The team's knowledge and passion for fibers and fabrics will encourage you to learn and have fun.
Sign up for a class or give the gift of KNITTING, CROCHET and SEWING!!!
Yasna teaches the classes for kids and adults. With knowledge and patience, she will get you started. With creativity and intense attention to detail, she will help you create beautiful handmade pieces. Supporting your style of learning, she will assist you by answering questions and fixing mistakes or any "suspicious" stitches!
To ensure personalized attention, the classes will be small groups of 2-4 people. While working in an intimate atmosphere, the students will definitely succeed with their project!
It's always the perfect time of the year to learn! Join us on a beautiful journey to create a handmade item for yourself or someone you love!
