Have you always wanted to learn to knit or crochet? Register to join Yarning with Friends for a beginner’s class. New and returning students are welcome.
Good news Our knitting instructor will be back this month! And, as usual, we will also offer instruction and help to crocheters.
If you haven’t yet seen our summer display–a farmers market–be sure to stop by; it’s in the lobby. I’m so proud of the work everyone did to make this such a success!
In our August class, we’ll share progress made on our next project (a bookshelf of children’s books inspired by Kim Parslow’s yarn bombed tree in Melbourne, Australia) and everyone can share what they’ve been making since they last attended. We’ll spend our time together continuing to hone our skills as we work on butterflies, Very Hungry Caterpillar bookmarks, or other small projects.
- We plan to use the butterflies pictured above either in a future yarn art display. You can make some for yourself or contribute them to a future project. Pattern available here.
- The bookmarks are a nod to Eric Carle’s popular book The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We have given our crocheted caterpillars to children at many events and they always bring a smile. We may even use them as a fundraiser. Again, you can make some for yourself or add them to our stash. Pattern available here.
Details and registration form below under tab EVENT DETAILS.
This class will take place in the MakerSpace on the main floor of the Modesto Library.
- 5:30 pm – 7:45 pm
There is:
- No cost
- No commitment to continue attending classes (but we hope you’ll want to!)
- No commitment to work on any Yarning with Friends projects
You’ll need a few supplies. If possible, bring knitting needles (medium size, straight or circular), a crochet hook (medium size), scissors, ruler or tape measure and a small amount of worsted weight yarn. No supplies? No worries. We’ll loan you anything you need.
The class is free, but we ask that you register, using the form below.
