Knit with Nora

Grab your needles Nest Knitters...the princess of felted bags (because we ALL know our very own Beth Clifton is our queen of felted bags) is coming to The Nest! That's right, Nora Bellows - Noni Designs, will be here for two days in September. Nora has been knitting since she was 12 years old, but it wasn't until 2005 that she made her gorgeous patterns available to the public, and we're oh so thankful she did!

While she is here, Nora will be teaching four classes - two on Saturday, September 17th, and two on Sunday, September 18th. We'd love for everyone to join us for this special event, but space is limited, so call soon to reserve your spot in one...or two or three or four of these classes. You'll certainly be glad you did!

The cost of each class is $75, but if you sign up for two classes on the same day, you'll not only get both classes for $140, but you'll also receive lunch on us! Please see the schedule below, and reserve your spot in Nora's classes today!
