Fair Isle Knitting:  This class will meet twice.  The first class we will pick 4 colors of yarn for a hat, work a gauge, discuss different types of ribbing and cast on and begin knitting the hat.  The second class we will begin the Fair Isle knitting by holding one color in each hand.   We will be using the American and German styles of knitting.  You will learn how to adjust tension to keep the pattern areas from puckering.   A hat is a good project to practice on if you are interested in doing larger projects that require Fair Isle patterns.  The cost of the class is $25 which will include a pattern.  The class will meet:

Tues., July 22 and 29. 

Alix’s Prayer shawl:  This pattern is taken from the book Back on Blossom Street by Debbie McComber and was designed by Myrna Stahman.  It can be seen and downloaded from Debbie's web site.  The name of the pattern is Alix's Prayer Shawl.  I am working it using a lace weight yarn called Anne from Schaefer Yarns.  We have the yarn in several different colorways.  It is a hand dyed merino wool.  Myrna has also made it using two skeins of sock yarn.  The shawl is begun at the neck edge using a provisional cast on.  The 18 row repeat increases 4 stitches on every right side row.  The pattern consists of right and left leaning decreases and a double decrease both paired with yarn overs.  It can be made from written instructions or by following a graph.  The cost of the class is $20.  The class will meet on Sat., Aug. 2 from 10:00 - 2:00. 

Wander Sock:   This sock contains left and right twists similar to but different from cables.  There are also yarn overs to create a lace effect.  You can use circular or double pointed needles.  Sock experience is necessary for this class.  Class fee is $10 and will meet:
