ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ - Knitters, brighten your winter! Learn about oceanic patterns and discover how to knit beautiful sideways edgings with lifelong knitter, Mary Ann McCormick, on Tuesday, January 10 at 7 PM at the Atlantic Highlands Library, 48 Avenue C, Atlantic Highlands.

This class combines her two loves through her instruction on patterns from the sea.
