Beginning Crochet
Learn the fundamental crochet stitches and crochet this easy scarf with chunky yarn in no time at all! In the first part of the class, we will cover chaining, single and double crochet stitches used in this scarf, which measures approximately 6" wide by 48" long. The second class covers the slip stitch, half double and treble crochet stitches as well as the foundation single crochet stitch, time permitting, as you work on a spa cloth. Emphasis on how to keep edges straight and not increase or decrease.
Dates: Tuesdays, May 31 - June 7
Time: 6:30 - 8:30
Cost: $20 plus materials (patterns are included in class fee)
Materials: For the scarf, about 200 yards of a chunky yarn - we recommend Malabrigo Mecha or Malabrigo Chunky; Size K crochet hook; yarn needle. For the spa cloth, you'll need about 70 yards of any worsted weight cotton yarn and a size G crochet hook - Cotton Twirl is recommended. You'll also need two locking stitch markers. Please choose a light color yarn to be able to see the stitches easily.
Craft: Crochet
Kelly's Workshop is an ongoing workshop style class. Jump in and out whenever you want, and only pay for the classes you attend. You pick the project, we provide the support. Even if you've never knit before, we can teach you. Mitttens? Socks? Lace? A sweater? Learn how to fix those pesky mistakes or how to seam nicely. Stitch what YOU want, but if you get stuck, don't worry, we're right there to help you. This is a great option if you want to take a class with a friend, but you knit at different levels. Come to just one class or come every week - your choice.
These workshops meet every week and have no end date. You do not need to register, just show up!
When: Wednesday afternoons 4 - 6 pm
--or-- Thursday mornings, 10 - noon
Cost: $5 per class session
Basic Socks Knit Along
We'll be knitting what I call "plain vanilla" socks. Top down, one at a time, using double point needles, your choice of cuff length. If you want them to go quickly, use a worsted weight yarn for warm, thick socks. If you want thinner, wear-in-your-shoes socks, you can use fingering weight yarn - your choice!

Time: 4:00 - 6:00
Cost: Free, but we do ask that you purchase your materials at Double Ewe.
Materials: Worsted weight - about 150 grams of yarn and size4 DPN's. Fingering weight - 100 grams of yarn and size 1.5 DPN's.
