BEGINNERS 
With 2 skeins of worsted weight [5sts/in, 2 different colors], and
a pair of 14" #US7 needles, you learn to read a pattern, cans on, 
knit, purl, increase, work two color knitting, decrease, bind off and
sew seams, while making a hat that fits.  These are all skills you
can apply to your next project(s), which you will probably be able
to start during the class.
INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED  
This fall Nancy and the non-beginners will be exploring
fairisle knitting with Selbu patterns for mitts, hats and
gloves in fingering Finullgarn and scandanavian sweaters
in sportweight Strikkegarn.  Both yarns have the crisp
even texture of scandanavian designs and hold color
patterns beautifully.
OR
Choose your own project:  cabled/textured, fairisle or top-down
sweater, design a sweater, make socks, mitts, fingerless gloves,
shawls, baby booties/sweaters/blankets, felted goods, learn about
steeks or lace knitting.  You will receive expert guidance on 
reading patterns, fit, fiber choices, finishing and handknitting
techniques [and tricks].

you'll need a tapestry needle,

stitch markers, scissors, pencil and note paper for

             any class you take, but above all have a good time!
more classes to be posted as available
