BUILDING BLOCKS:
Building Blocks
Sat., May 11, noon-2:30 p.m.
Class Fee: $25. Book Fee: $19.95.  
This is the first in a series of 12 skill- building classes.  Each month, we'll learn a different stitch pattern from Michelle Hunter's book and knit one block.  Each block can be turned into a pillow, or you can continue building until you have enough blocks to make up a baby or adult blanket.  In Class #1, we'll focus on the seed stitch and a herringbone- type pattern.
 This class is a great intro to pattern reading.  The blocks are knit in the lofty and scrumptious Simpliworsted or you can chose any of our other worsted weight yarns.  Call 619-284-7684 to preregister and reserve a copy of the book.

Dearest Purl the Knit Girl is the cutest little poppet with a wonderful wardrobe and fun props!  Join us as we knit her with double-pointed needles in Simpliworsted's flesh colored yarn.  P.S.  She is mostly anatomically correct with a belly button (have you ever knit one?) and the sweetest little bum!  Call 619-284-7684 to preregister and reserve your copy of the book!
