We provide the pattern.  2 sessions - 10:30 am to 12:30 pm.  February 25th and March 3rd.  $35.  Stashbuster Afghan - Create your own special afghan using yarns from your stash. This is a wonderful way to use up all those little balls of leftovers that you can't quite throw away. We will use the domino method of construction where there is NO sewing and NO tucking in tails. This afghan just "grows". Let us help you coordinate your yarns for each section to make the best use of your stash.  Bring all your leftover yarn (you can also share), knitting needles size 6 through 9 (we will see which ones will work best for the majority of your yarns) .  The first class will get you started on your "dominoes" and, if necessary, we schedule another class to teach you how to connect them. $35,  we provide the pattern and some yarn. The 1st class will be Thursday, February 16th, 10:30 am to 12:30 pm and if another class is needed we will schedule it at a time that is most convenient for all.  Lace Washcloth  Learn basic lace. Knit this washcloth with "Hempathy" - (hemp and cotton)  and learn to do a simple lace pattern. You will get the feel of an uncomplicated lace pattern and have a nice washcloth to give as a gift with a fancy soap or - keep it yourself! We will discuss other, more complicated patterns which are the next step.  $30 includes a ball of Hempathy yarn and the pattern. You supply the needles.  Coming Soon. 2 Socks - 1 Needle Magic Loop (or Two Socks at a Time on one needle.)  Avoid "second-sock-syndrome"  by knitting two socks on one needle!  For this class you will knit a pair of socks in the yarn size you want.  You will pick out your yarn (you will need 2 balls or wind one into 2 balls), and  needles. You will cast on for both socks before class begins. The first day you will learn how to set up and begin knitting your socks on 1 needle. You will work the ribbing, and as much of the body as you have time for in the class.  Your homework will be to work down to the ankle. In the next class you will do the heel flap, turn the heel and pick up instep stitches.  Note: You must have made a pair of socks on 4 needles before you take this class.  There is a week off in between classes for you to work on your socks   $40, Includes a basic pattern.
