Highlights of upcoming classes |

Wednesdays 4:00 - 6:00 PM
For those special knitters who need just a bit of our undivided attention, and cannot make a class - we would like to suggest the scheduled help time of 4:00 - 6:00 PM on Wednesdays. Steph, Eileen and JoAnne are normally available to assist you during this time. We suggest you call ahead to schedule a few minutes with one of them for some uninterupted assistance with your project.
Remember:
For the next few weeks- ALL of Pat's classes will learn a new cast on technique and how and when to use it. Its time we start learning more so Pat plans on taking just a few minutes in each class to teach something new.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tuesdays & Thursdays
6:30 - 8:30 PM with Linda Miller
You have learned the 2 handed fair Isle technique- now put it to good use knitting this Felted Fair Isle Tote. Feel free to join the class even if you haven't taken the 2 handed fair Isle class- you might pick up some good tips.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Saturday March 27
Technique Class
10:00 - 12:00 with Steph
Stephanie's technique classes have been so well received that she is doing more of them. For next Saturday, March 27, Steph will be teaching some new techniques to be announced this weekend. (This translates to mean that I forgot to get the class choice decision from her prior to having to write this), so look for the class decription in next Tuesday's email.
Class will be limited to 8 students. Sign up now! Steph's classes have been filling up fast.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Saturday March 20
10:00 - 12:00 PM with JoAnne
My First Vest
This worsted weight vest is constructed in one piece- no sewing. The minimal shaping is perfect for the beginner, or the knitter who wants to try their first real project- a vest for themselves! I suggest you come in prior to class time to pick out yarn. Class is closed- sold out. Class will be held again. You can always work the pattern on your own, and I have added a larger size too.
