Purls and Polish Sessions at Knitch

You knit. They knit.

And just in case you needed one, here’s another reason to hit up Knitch: The Virginia Highland shop just partnered with 10Ten Nail Bar to create Purls and Polish, a Zen-like, pedicure-while-you-knit-workshop that’s sweeter than a bowl of ice cream.

The first Tuesday of every month, the yarn haven hosts 30 lucky knitters. (Can’t make tomorrow night? Groups of ten or more can book private sessions on their own.)

The two-hour, $25 nights are open to beginners and experts alike. Light snacks, wine, and bubbly are at arm’s reach. Expert nail techs work on your feet (leg massage included) as knitting instructors patiently walk you through simple stitching or more complicated endeavors like crafting scarves and skirts.

Just dry your toes before chasing the next Mr. Freezy truck.

Knitch, 1052 Saint Charles Avenue, Virginia Highland (404-745-9276 or knitchknitting.com).
