FAQ- Do We Teach?

Many people want to help us but don't know how to knit or crochet. We are asked if we can give lessons. Since we all have full time jobs, that isn't possible. We refer people to the various knitting stores in and around Chicago where lessons are given. Many people can teach themselves from YouTube or on line lessons. Baby blankets and rectangular shawls can be made with a basic knowledge. Caps and more complicated patterns require an ability to read patterns and facility with various stitches. Mastectomy prosthesis require ability to work with small double pointed needles (if you can do socks, you can do these) Once you have an appropriate skill level, we are happy to help you. And occasionally we will do workshops outside of work to teach a particular pattern or skill
