Classes now come with ‘office hours’ access to your knitting instructor\, Paula Lytle\, for coaching outside of class.\n\nPaula Lytle has lived on the Hill since 1997 and has been knitting for over 40 years. A former college professor\, she has taught knitting to both children and adults\, and one of her students now raises sheep!\n\nShe can be found on Ravelry under the userID Magla.\n\nIf you have yarn and needles which you would like to use\, please bring it to the class.
