Back by Popular demand. I told you that you could do it! This pullover is made in one piece from the neck down. It is a perfect project for the experienced beginning knitter as well as a fun project for the seasoned knitter. Depending on class size, an additional raglan sweater featuring a front cable will also be offered this same time. Pattern optional. Bring a lunch. Class will be taught by Lisbet Okun. |
| 9/16/06 | Flying Swallow |
This hat uses several new and interesting techniques including a Latvian braid, a Ewe-nique color patterning in the body of the hat and a colored swirl at the top. Lucy Strochine will teach us how to make this one-of-a-kind hat. This is also a great way to learn several new techniques. Need for pattern purchase not known at this time. Bring a lunch. |

Fingerless Gloves |
June Davis found this pattern while on summer vacation and made several pairs despite the summer heat (definitely the sign of a passionate knitter). The glove features knitted ribbing at the wrist and at the fingers and can be made either using a solid color or made using creative patterning. Pattern is included in the class fee. |
| 10/14/06 | Felted Christmas Stocking 9a-12noon |
There has been much interest in this item since the display stockings appeared several weeks ago. These large stockings are so much fun to knit and may be embellished and personalize in dozens of different ways. There will be a follow up class scheduled for 11/04/06. Pattern purchase is required. |

| 10/28/06 | Dying Yarn 9a-1p |
What fun! Handpaint your own wool using a variety of colors or use a solid color with varying hues. Plan a project around your personalized color choices or make random color selections for the pure fun of it. Keep in mind that these handpainted wool yarns are terrific for felting projects. Make arrangements for Yarn and Company to wind your yarn hanks PRIOR to class time. Dyeing cost will be $2.00 per skein. Wear old clothes. |
