Also, there are several local knitting groups. One of them meets at the North Hall Tech Center. They are very welcoming of newbs.
I retired from Michaels' after 14 yrs.
You can check the Michael's website for class info, or go into the store and get a calender of classes/events for the month. Cashiers should have a copy at the registers, or can get one for you.
