Please be aware that the focus of the class is on the basics and there will be no time for more advanced instruction.

Facilitator

Amy Luka learned to knit when she was 54 years old. Having no ‘crafty’ people in her life growing up, learning to knit was a Bucket List item for her. She took her first knitting class right here at the ASM. Discovering that she enjoyed the craft was a bonus. She quickly joined the Montclair Knitting Circle and honed her skills. Amy is very honored and humbled to teach a Knitting 101 class right back at the place where her journey began.
