Another sweater from Interweave Knits Spring 2008, the Hexacomb Cardigan is shown as a cropped sweater but can easily be made longer in the body and sleeves. This class will overlap with any of Patti’s Saturday classes, so if you need 6 weeks instead of three you may just sign up for the next class session and keep going. You may also come to 2 classes and skip one and continue on in the next session. Whatever works best for your schedule is our goal! | ||

Lace is fun! Don't be afraid, this hat only has a couple of inches of lace at the beginning and then it is mindless stockinette stitch for the finish. Great for holiday knitting as you only have a few months left. This is a great, feminine look and would be great for anyone who has lost their hair. Start: 6:00 pm
End: 8:00 pm
This is loads of good clean fun! We will be making a loofah like scrubber using wool rovings and a bar of soap. Our own ShirleySoap will be making plain bars with her same wonderful scents for our use. You will need to bring a 14” or larger plastic plant dish. The ones I have seen are terra cotta colored and can be found at hardware stores in the plant section. | ||

From Kathryn Schoendorf - “Calorimetry is a scientific term describing the measurement of heat lost or gained. Knit hats are a wonderful way to block out the cold, but when you have long hair it usually requires wearing it down, not often the most comfortable option on a blustery day. This headscarf allows you to wear your hair up while keeping your ears warm and preventing heat from escaping from the top of your head.” Start: 2:00 pm

From Knitty - I want to knit something practical, pretty, and looks like it took much longer to make than it did. Oh yeah, and it should be fun to knit. Tall order? Not really. This headband is a great introduction to entrelac and by the time you’ve got it down, you’re finished!" There is some homework for this class, you will need to have the I-cord made before the class starts. When you pre-register you will receive the supply list to get started.
