Now scheduling workshops and events for 2009.

Knitting instructor Margaret Radcliffe has been teaching knitting for The Knitting Guild of America, Stitches Expos, knitting and weaving guilds and shops across the U.S. since 1991, in addition to offering basic knitting classes locally through the YMCA and home school groups.
