Crochet Snow Globe Ornaments with Leslie-Saturday, September 24th from 12:30 to 2:30pm
We want to build your crochet skills with a few well placed ornament/gift projects perfect for the upcoming holiday season. The first of three crochet classes is making this snow globe ornament. You will need to already know the crochet basics (chain, single crochet, double crochet) for this class. Leslie will teach you how to join and work in the round and change colors. These are wonderful skills to add to the arsenal as you reach towards making hats, bags and amigurumi. The $35 fee covers your yarn, ribbon, pattern and instructions. You will need to supply your own H or 5mm hook. We are limiting this class to 6 people.
Crochet Car Scarf with Leslie-Saturday, October 1st from 1 to 3 pm
Join us to learn a new crochet stitch with Leslie. This new stitch is very versatile. We are making this bulky car scarf to teach you the stitch, but we think it would translate beautifully into a bracelet, bookmark or belt. The $40 fee includes your yarn, the pattern, button and instruction as you make this quick gift. You will need to supply your own M (9.0mm) hook. You will need a basic understanding of chain and double crochet stitches for this class.
Toe Up Diagonal Lace Socks with Gabrielle-Wednesday October 5th, Tuesday, October 18th and Wednesday, October 19th from 6 to 8 pm
Toe up socks are a great way to knit socks and work to end of your yarn. For this class, we will be exploring not only Nancy's Magic cast on (which always has to be looked up a hundred times until you get it!), but also incorporating a lace pattern into a sock and also a heel flap that is worked from the bottom up. Sounds intriguing, huh? The $65 fee for this class includes the pattern and instructions to make a pair of socks. You will need to provide your own US 1 (2.25mm) needles in whatever circular form you like (dpn's, magic loop) and approximately 100 grams or 400 yards of sock weight yarn. This is an advanced intermediate class. Students should have a solid knowledge of knitting, purling, decreases and yarn overs.
Zorn Junction Yarn Trunk Show-Saturday, October 8th from 11 am to 4 pm
Carolyn and her beautiful hand dyed yarns from Zorn Junction Yarns in Texas is finally returning to upstate New York! Many of you have made garments out of her one of a kind yarns, and I can't blame ya! They're gorgeous! Gather your patterns for sock and sport weight yarns and join us to see what goodies Carolyn spoils us with! Personally, I'm in the middle of a Lapis sweater by Yamagara (and by in the middle, I mean I just cast it on!) using one skein of her hand dyed sock and two skeins of another solid. It's a great pattern and I love the style...check it out!

The holidays are getting close at this point in the calendar so why not make a lovely lace cowl named after one of my favorite parts of It's a Wonderful Life.
