up coming classes and knit along


Rug Hookers Guardian Angel

Instructor: Gayle Gunby
Every rug hooker requires a guardian angel to watch over their wool stash or studio. Join us on Saturday, February 09, 2013 10 am till 3 pm to make your very own angel. She carries a little bag filled with a piece of burlap, some wool and her very own tiny rug hook.
This is not a beginner class, some rug hooking experience is required
Please bring a 15 x 22 inch piece of burlap with the edges either sewn or taped
A Sharpie marker
Enough wool for your angel's dress, wings and basket
Funky yarn for hair and embellishments if desired
I will supply the following...flesh coloured wool for face and hands, small piece of wool, burlap and rug hook for her basket, and the backing for the angel.
The fee for this class is $40.00 plus HST which includes a light lunch of soup, buns and tea.
Thursday afternoon knit along
On Thursday January 24th we will be starting a new knit along project, we will be doing fiddlehead mittens I can buy the pattern for you, or you can purchase it yourself off Raverly , as usual this will be from 1 to 3 pm and will be for 2 or 3 weeks depending how we get along with it. Please note this is not for beginners, some mitten knitting experience is needed. This is not a class as such more so a group where we all help each other on the project.
