You swore you’d be a domestic diva by the time your little one arrived. Too bad his welcome home wardrobe consists of only blob-shaped hats and six-fingered gloves.

Grab your (poorly) swaddled babe and head to Hilltop Yarn for the new PINKS (Parents in Newbie Knitting Support) class.

With the moral support of other new and expectant parents, you’ll learn the fundamentals of knitting and get expert guidance as you navigate the delicate world of booties, baby caps, blankies, sweaters, and more.

You’ll feel proud of the accomplishment. And your babe will end up with the best outfits on the block.

Instead of just a yarn-spinning mom.

Classes held Mondays, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., for four weeks beginning February 8, at Hilltop Yarn, 2225 Queen Anne Avenue North (206-282-1332 or hilltopyarn.com). Advance registration required.
