Our first go at the GAAA last year was a wonderful success....we laughed, we cried, it changed our lives. Back by popular demand this year at Harmony.
In the course of a year, our teacher will take you through an Aran Afghan project using patterns from The Great American Afghan book. (We have the book on sale here). We will go square by square in the book. Your adventure with this class will take your knitting to a whole new level, learning large and small things you never thought possible. Everyone who has ever taken this class has been pleasantly surprised at how much they learned through the assimilation over the course of the year. Class is twice a month with the teacher on Sat and the table is open twice a month just for social knitting.
Don't miss this chance to amaze yourself at what you can do!

Taught using two circular needles and Judy's Magic Cast-on, you will also pick up some great tricks for row counting and keeping track of where you are when knitting in the round.
