 If you have never used Pacific Knit Companies Doodle Decks, you must join us for this workshop.

In this workshop, you will learn all about how to combine doodles for a fun, custom cowl. If cowls are not your thing, choose a different project: a beanie, fingerless gloves, cozies, coasters... There are a myriad of options.

We will begin with creating your custom design, then choose colors, then start knitting!
