Watauga Arts Council hosts Knitting Workshop with Vicki Skywark during May-October. Vicki will guide intermediate students through specialized techniques and common issues such as tension and ergonomics, mistake repair, yarn characteristics, seams and much more in a warm and friendly small group environment. Topics are determined by student interest. Bring work in progress or whatever you have to the workshop for “untangling.” Space is limited.
