TKB Arm Knitting Classes



I learned to Arm Knit from Vickie Howell at Vogue Knitting Live NYC 2014. 
It’s quick.  It’s fun.   
All you need is one skein of yarn…that’s all.  And, you’ll walk out of this one hour class with a fashionable cowl. 

Bring a skein of super chunky yarn like Wool Ease Thick n Quick or Hometown. The cowl in the photo is made from Patons Cobbles.  Or maybe you have one of those skeins of the self ruffling yarn like Sashay or Starbella in your stash. It works up really well, too.  (I have a limited selection of appropriate yarn for sale in the studio.

The class is $10 per person, if you bring your own yarn.  $15 for the class and a skein of Wool Ease Thick n Quick.

Reserve your space by phone 973-303-3118 or email theknittingbureau@gmail.com. 
Kids 10 and up are welcome in the company of a parent/guardian. 

Check the calendar at the bottom of the home page for session dates and times.  If there are no sessions scheduled, ask to have one added.

Fitter Knitter ::: Yoga-Style



Weekly one-hour gentle yoga classes designed with knitters and crocheters in mind will be offered at The Knitting Bureau beginning in March.   

Each session will focus on breathing, stretching and strengthening those muscles we stitchers use, overall stretching, general well-being and relaxation.  All work will be done seated or standing with chair support in stocking feet.  No worries about getting up and down from the floor. 



Phyllis Rowley, a life long knitter and yoga enthusiast, will teach the classes.  Phyllis is near the successful completion of a year-long intensive yoga teacher training program.



The sessions are scheduled on Mondays from 2:15 – 3:15 pm beginning March 10.  No special clothing or equipment is required.  Class size is limited. 



The introductory price is $10.00 per class.  Call or text 973-303-3118 or email theknittingbureau@gmail.com to reserve your space.  Holders of current green TKB Class Cards receive a 10% discount.   



IMPORTANT TO NOTE:  You are advised to ask your physician if gentle yoga is right for you.

The Knitting Bureau on Pinterest

The new Pinterest page for The Knitting Bureau is http://www.pinterest.com/knittingbureau/.  I also converted my personal page and those pins can still be found on http://www.pinterest.com/susdbella/.

New to Pinterest?  Not sure what it is for?  As I find patterns and projects that may be of interest to you, I "pin" them onto Pinterest boards I've created on my page.  This keeps a visual catalog for you to peruse.  If you like something, click on the pin.  At the top of the pin there's a button marked Website...click on that and it will bring you to the source.  

Ask, if you need a demo.

Today's the big day!

I can hardly believe it is real. 

If you are stopping by today between 11 and 2, I marked the buzzer with some purple tape...you can't miss it -- so call up. The buzz-in is broken so I'll pop down to open the door for you. 

If you can't make today and want a peek, contact me and we'll make arrangements.
