The “hoodie” scarf is the hot new must have accessory this season!  Warm, functional and stylish!  Students need intermediate knitting skills of knit/purl and basic pattern reading.   You will also learn the 3 needle bind off for a perfect seam!

Mitered Squares Felted Bag:    Saturdays 1 -3pm, October 9, 16 & 23. In this class we will be breaking into the wonderful world of felted knitting using the beautiful colors of Noro Yarn and a solid contrasting color to construct mitered squares on point (creating a diamond pattern). Stitches are picked up from the previous modules to build the next module (no sewing!), then the bag is felted when complete to make a super cute solid fabric!  Students should have intermediate knitting skills to participate in this class (knit, purl, pick up stitches, center decrease)
