It’s the end of a long day, and it’s the first chance you’ve had to think about yourself. Put down the dirty dishes – yes, they really can wait – and pick up knitting needles. Knitting is a hobby that many consider therapeutic. The practice of using your hands to create one-of-a-kind scarves or hats keeps you focused and gives you a sense of accomplishment. Knitting boutiques around the DFW area offer classes and workshops to get you started and keep you motivated. Jenning Street Yarns in Fort Worth offers one-on-one classes to fit your schedule for $20 an hour or Saturday classes starting at $25. In the Dallas area, get your knit on at The Shabby Sheep. Beginner classes start at $25, and they offer group classes if you want to get your girlfriends together. If you’re already an experienced knitter and are looking for some social knitting, drop into one of the many classes offered at Yarn & Stitches in North Dallas for $20. They also have kids’ classes if you’ve got little ones tagging along.
