LACE TOP -  June 16, 23 & 30 - Saturday - 10:30 - 1:30pm - $65.00
What a fantastic top for Texas and a great way to break into lace knitting that is not a shawl.  This is a very simple top with very little shaping.  This is a must have knit.  The v-neck and cap sleeves are very flattering for all figure types.  I am using Sea Silk, knits on a US 3 or needle to gauge, the first two-three inches of the top are on size 2 needles.  We already have three people signed up for this class so please sign up early!

GRANNY SQUARES! - June 16 - Saturday - 2:30pm to 4:00pm - $25.00 - Materials Needed: Worsted or sport weight yarn in 2 colors and a crochet hook appropriate for yarn size. We love grannies! Make one and keep it going or make several, hook them as you go, or sew them later. So many decisions.

Coming Soon A Broomstick Lace Class!
