All ages, men and women welcome. Dates are subject to change. I'd like to remind you of our snow policy; when the schools are closed, so are we. In addition, I wanted to remind people that we try to have a scent free class. I know that several people in the class are sensitive to scents; this becomes more pronounced when they are exercising and can lead to asthma attacks. Please be careful to not use perfume or even highly scented toiletries before class; when one gets warm and/or sweats, any scents become much more powerful.

Beaded Lithuanian Wrist Warmers, part of the Lithuanian national dress. In old times both men and women wore them year-round. In recent years they became very popular again in everyday use due to their functionality as well as their beauty. These small accessories made of wool warm your blood as it flows close to the skin at your wrist and warm your entire body. For winter wear, they add and extra bit of warmth both indoors and outdoors in those times when you don’t need the extra protection of gloves or mittens, and in the summer they are perfect to protect you from the chill on windy and rainy days.
Skill level: you need to know just how to knit and to purl. If you haven’t knit on very fine needles – 1.25mm – it will be a new experience for you! Fee is $ 20.00 plus $ 15 for materials (fine yarn, fine needles, glass beads).
12 – 4:00 pm
Instructor: Laura G. 631-3408

Locker Hooking Workshop Locker Hooking is a simple craft that creates durable attractive items from mats and rugs to wall hangings. The two essentials are a locker hook and rug hooking canvas. The other items can vary. A locker hooking tool had a crochet hook on one end and a large needle eye on the other. The crochet end is used to pull loops of material though the holes in the canvas mesh. After a few loops have been pulled onto the hook, the needle eye, threaded with yarn or cord is pulled through these loops locking them in place.
In previous workshops, the Australian locker hooking techniques using carded wool was used. In this workshop, we will be using scrap material to recycle into a small mat. The hook and mesh will be supplied. I will bring some material but I will encourage you to bring some fabric, old bed sheets, cotton skirts, something easy to tear into strips. This workshop should leave you with enough ideas for other projects. Fee $20 plus materials (hook and mesh) $15
