We are holding a workshop that you can feel free to participate in. In the future, we plan to start regular classes for those who want to challenge not only sentence patterns but also English patterns, and for those who want to knit at their own pace. It would be great if I could write about "a life with knitting" with everyone.
Time to get excited about what to knit next. Time to be carefree. Time to relax. So that you can feel that “life with knitting” is good.

I live in a small town in eastern Hokkaido, where fishing and dairy farming are the main industries. I love the quiet time when we get together and chat while moving our hands.
I want to increase the number of friends who enjoy sailing together in the wide sea of ​​"the world of knitting".
With that in mind, we are planning workshops for beginners and classes where you can knit whatever you like at your own pace.

We will support your "I want to knit!", such as English patterns, Japanese sentence patterns, and Japanese knitting patterns.
In addition, from October 2022, we will newly establish a total of seven [curriculum-based lessons for beginners of Japanese sentence patterns].
For those of you who have been shy about writing patterns because you are not good at it, let's aim to improve your skills while having fun.
