We've got CLASS!


Okay, so you’ve learned the basics: cast-on, knit, purl, bind-off. You’ve knit everyone you know a scarf or a dishcloth. Now what?!

Take a Crazy Girl CLASS!

We have an ongoing schedule of classes at both locations with something for every skill level from beginner to advanced.

There are new classes starting all the time. All those knits and purls can do amazing things, and we can show you how!

Tired of knitting rectangles and squares? Learn how to knit “in the round” by making a HAT.

Did you totally miss Edward’s abs because you were distracted by BELLA’S MITTENS? We’ll show you how to make them!


Drooling over all the beautiful sock yarn? Take a SOCK class. Cuff-down, toe-up, one at a time, or even TWO AT ONCE! Nip that Second Sock Syndrome in the bud once and for all! (We can show you lots of other ways to use that gorgeous sock yarn, too.)


We’ve got sweaters, shawls, cowls, toys, handbags – ribbing, lace, beading, felting, and charts! There’s even a “knitter’s choice” class where YOU decide what to knit. Bring a project that you’ve been afraid to try and our expert instructors will walk you through it, giving you the courage and support you need to get it going.

We even teach CROCHET!


One stick or Two… We’ve Got a Class for YOU!

Visit our CLASS PAGE to see what’s coming up on the schedule. If you don’t see what you want, let us know! We are always open to suggestions for future classes. If you missed the start date, call us – popular classes are often offered again and again.

And don’t forget about our ongoing FREE events:

Learn to Knit:
Anytime – no appointment necessary!
Any of our store staff will be more than happy to help you pick out needles and yarn and sit down for your first knitting lesson on the spot – go home with a scarf in progress!

Open Knit:
Anytime
We know there are lots of things that keep you from getting any knitting done at home – kids, pets, phones, chores, homework. Pull up a chair and knit with us – we’re glad to have you anytime!

Knit-n-WineThursday nights 6 - 9 PM
Here's your chance to get out of the house and spend a little time doing something YOU want to do - knit! BYOB and enjoy the company of other knitters.

The Knitting Doctor Is In!Stuck on a pattern? Need help with a new technique? Convinced your pattern must be wrong? Our staff is ready and able to help. Think of us as "Knitting Doctors," except that you won't get a bill! Just drop in the shop, plop down at the table, and say "HELP!" Our staff will come to your aid in a hurry.

Inspiration Corner




Has the "snow-pocalypse" left you feeling like The Groundhog, wanting to hibernate for another six weeks until spring?


Park that snowblower and head on into the shops! We have added a new feature at both locations - an "inspiration corner" where you can feel free to pull up a chair and flip through books, magazines, and binders filled with patterns and techniques. We have created an easy-to-browse book nook where you can find just about anything for anyone, from beginner to knitting know-it-all.


Stop in and browse the collection and always remember, if you don't see it on the shelf - ask us! If we don't have it, we would be very happy to order it for you!



The Crazy Girl loves to find ways to inspire our knitting, crocheting and spinning friends. We strive to create a peaceful atmosphere with vibrant colors, unique textures, expert staff, and cutting edge products and ideas. And we hope that each time you visit the shop you take away with you renewed inspiration, perhaps learn a new technique, or make a new friend. Knit on!!
