2008 SPRING KNITTING CLASS SCHEDULE
We have put a considerable effort into planning a variety of classes to satisfy all levels of knitters. If you come to class unprepared (i.e. you do not meet the prerequisites, have not done the pre-class assignment, or do not have the proper materials for the class) the instructor may ask you to leave. If this occurs, you will forfeit your class fee.
* ALL classes will be held at Kaleidoscope Yarns and all students must park in the free Municipal Parking Lot behind our shop.
* Classes start promptly, so please be on time.
* For evening classes: all supplies must be purchased prior to 5pm on the day of your class. The cash register will not be open after 5pm.
* Class hours are scheduled for the maximum number of students. If the class is not a full class, it may be dismissed a bit earlier.
* NO CELL PHONES IN OUR CLASSROOM. Cell phones are disruptive to our instructors and to other students. Please leave your cell phones at home or in your car.
* Deposits are non-refundable, and must be made to secure your spot.
* If Kaleidoscope Yarns cancels the class for any reason, we will refund your deposit.
* Classes may be postponed and rescheduled due to weather conditions. If you cancel for any reason, your deposit will be refundable ONLY if your spot can be filled. If your spot cannot be filled, or if you run into scheduling conflicts once the class has started, your deposit will not be refunded.
* Instruction costs do not include materials, but class materials are discounted 15% if you purchase them at Kaleidoscope Yarns.
* Please ask for the materials list and pre-class assignment when you reserve your spot.
