CLASS POLICIES & GUIDELINES
- All class fees are non-refundable. If you have a conflict, you must notify us at least 7 days before the start date of your first class in order to receive store credit. We will always do our best to help you reschedule, but it may not always be possible.
- Our group classes and private lessons are designed for adults ages 18 and up.
- No store credit will be issued for unattended classes and no store credit will be issued for cancellations made within 7 days of the start date of the first class.
- We put the health and safety of all our staff and community members first. If you have been exposed to Covid or you are otherwise feeling unwell, we ask that you please stay home.
- We have a class minimum of 3 students, so it’s never a bad idea to sign up with a friend or two! If you are the only student that signs up for one of our classes, we will contact you ahead of time and issue a full refund if there is a cancellation on our part.
- We understand that sometimes students need some extra help outside of class, so we offer Project Support and Private Lessons.
- For our students to get personalized attention, we like to keep our class sizes small. For this reason, we require students to sign up in advance for all of our classes, lessons, and project support sessions.
- Speak Kindly: Knitting and crochet can be challenging, so let’s be KIND and PATIENT with ourselves and each other during the learning journey. Each person's energy has an impact on the group dynamic!
- Neutral & Positive: Let’s keep our discussion topics generally relaxed and positive so everyone feels comfortable in the space. When in doubt, stick to topics related to what we're gathering together for – knitting, crochet, fiber.
- Scents & Allergens: To make the space accessible and friendly to those with scent sensitivities, we discourage any particularly strong smells or heavy perfumes. Additionally, you are welcome to bring snacks for yourself to share, however, we ask that you inform us if you're bringing anything with common allergens.
- Group Class Dynamic & 1-1 Support: We host small sized classes at Knit 1 so that we can accommodate the needs of everyone taking the class. This means we'll need to balance group instruction with intermittent one-on-one help. Your instructor will do their best to support everyone in the class equitably.
- Prerequisite Skills: If you need additional 1-1 support, we offer Project Support and Private Lessons. Your instructor may recommend these options to you if they discover that you'd benefit from additional support outside of class or in the case you do not have the prerequisite skills for a particular class. We will discuss these options with you outside of the class environment.
