May 15, 2010: Learn to Crochet. By learning how to make a Granny Square, you'll learn to chain, slip stitch, and double crochet. With these stitches and a variety of yarn choices you can make individual squares to sew into a blanket or one big square that will grow into an afghan. Instructor, Debra Hogan

June 19, 2010, Knit with Beads. Several methods of knitting with beads will be taught, and students will do each one during the class. Future projects will be suggested, and patterns for them will be supplied. Supplies: odds and ends of sport weight and/or sock weight yarn for knitting with beads, and needles appropriate for that yarn. Beads and needles to string the beads will be supplied by the instructor. Instructor, Sandee Jaastad

July 17, 2010, Intarsia. Intarsia is a knitting technique used to work with multiple colors within a row. It is used to "paint" a picture. Unlike Fair Isle, which uses only two colors at a time and in which the both colors are carried across the work, the shorter strands of colors of Intarsia are only carried within the picture. We will work on a small sample with 5 or 6 colors. Bring a main color and smaller amounts of "picture" colors. Either worsted or sport weight yarn. Bring appropriate needles for the size yarn you plan to use. Instructor, Robin Ziperman
