LEARN TO MAKE A VEST:
MONDAY, SEPT 13 & 27, 6-8p.m.

Soon the weather will be turning cooler, but not yet cold enough for a sweater. What's a knitter to do? Why, make a vest, of course! Simple and quick, vests are perfect for autumn (or for people who don't like making sleeves!)

BASIC CUFF-DOWN SOCK (ON MAGIC LOOP) :

TUESDAY, SEPT 14, 21 & 28, 6-8p.m.

cost: $45.00, plus supplies

If you already have a few socks under your belt, why not try the magic loop? Perfect, too, if you just dislike using double-points. This introduction to the magic loop will get you through a pair of socks with little frustration.

FIX YOUR MISTAKES:
SATURDAY, SEPT 18, 10:30a.m.-12:30p.m.
cost: $15.00, plus supplies
**HOMEWORK** Bring three (3) 4x4 inch knitted squares still on the needles.
Sick of ripping out several rows, inches, or more in order to save a twisted, dropped, or incorrect stitch? Learn how to save yourself time and stress in this class that covers the most frequent mistakes we encounter.

LEARN CABLES:
SATURDAY, SEPT 25, 2-4p.m.
cost: $15.00, plus supplies
It's a new season, so why not learn a new technique? Cables are easier than they appear and add such texture and detail to your patterns.
