Lace Shawl - $55 (members $50)
This Class has been postponed to: Wed. Sept 22, Oct 6 and 20

Summer is for Lace. This stunning shawl was on the cover of the 2010 Spring Vogue Knitting magazine and is perfect for most evenings here in Southern California.
Lace knitting involves the use of charts. These motifs are easy to follow so you will become more comfortable using charts. If you really really hate charts this pattern also has the rows written out just for you.
Did you run out of an excuses to knit lace?
Afraid of lace weight yarn? This shawl uses dk weight yarn which makes the knitting go much faster. There went another excuse!
This is the perfect lace project to sink your teeth into this summer.
Skill Level: knit, purl, increase and decrease. Not your first knitted project. Adv. Beginner.

Knitting 911 - $25 (members $20)
Wednesday July 7 from 6:30 to 9
Some of the most useful skills in knitting are un-knitting and picking up dropped stitches. The more mistakes you know how to fix easily, the more enjoyable your knitting will be.
In this workshop we will go over fixes for the most common knitting mistakes and practice reading your knitting to avoid mistakes in the first place.
There is some "home-work" for this class
Toe-Up Socks - $45 (members $40)
Saturday July 10 and 17 from 2-5

There are several advantages to toe-up socks. One is that you know how long to make the leg of your sock and still have enough yarn for the second sock. Another is that the toe is done at the very beginning with a very simple cast-on and you don’t have to Kitchener stitch it at the end.
My favorite reason is a perfect fit with any size yarn and needles. I love toe-up sock!!
Skill Level: knit, purl, small circumference knitting i.e. you know how to knit with two circulars, magic loop or double pointed needles.
Felted Bag - $45 (members $40)
Wednesday July 21 and August 11
This bag is done with the same Kauni yarn that we used in the Rainbow Scarf a few months ago. If you still have some this the perfect way to use it. If you don't have Kauni it is really easy to find now.
This is fair-isle knitting which is fun and you see a lot of this color work in the magazines now. Anytime you learn an new technique there are some inconsistencies, but the felting will make all the those go away. Felting also means you don't have to line the purse to use it. I just love felting!
Beaded Scarf - $45 (members $40) + $3 for pattern
Monday August 2 and 16 from 6:30-9

Beads and knitting go perfect together. This is a stunning scarf and the beads add a nice drape to any yarn you choose to use. This is would be a wonderful gift for anyone any time of year.
