*Australian Locker Hooking*

September 18, 2010
10:30 amto1:30 pm

Instructor: Jeane deCoster 1 class 3 hours $35.00
Learn to be a hooker! Learn the skills necessary to make a dreamy rug out of unspun wool roving. This craft requires NO previous fiber or yarn experience of any kind. It’s easier on the brain and the hands than traditional rug hooking. In this class we’ll start a chair seat cover. There’s nothing like the cooooosh of wool pile under your toooooosh or your feet. Rug samples will be available to inspire future projects. Locker hooks will be available for use during the class or bring your own.

*Double-Fisted Knitting Two*

September 18, 2010
2:00 pmto4:00 pm

Instructor: Jeanne 1class $30.00
Class Description:
In our first class, we conquered knitting with one color in each hand. Now, it’s time to start a real project! Bring a sweater pattern (or idea) to this class and we’ll work through the ins and outs of making a Stranded (Fair Isle) project work for you! We’ll start by making the pattern fit you! We will work with some body measurements, details of where the garment steeks go, how to adjust the stitch pattern for size changes — and anything else you need to make your project a success. You’ll leave the class with “yarn on the needles” and the confidence to forge ahead!
