Mostly crochet this month; making small things

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.

First, an important note. Our knitting instructor will not be available this month. Knitters are still welcome to join us if they want to work independently; and other knitters in the room are probably happy to help if you have a question or problem. If you have no knitting experience whatsoever, please join us on August 7 for your first lesson.

If you haven’t yet seen our summer display–a farmers market–be sure to stop by soon; it’s in the lobby. I’m so proud of the work everyone did to make this such a success!

In our July class, we’ll share progress made on our next project and everyone can share what they’ve been making since the June class. 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 may be able to use the butterflies pictured above 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.

There is:

• No cost
• No commitment to continue attending classes (but we hope you’ll want to!)

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.

If you already knit or crochet, what level do you consider yourself to be working at?

Are you a beginner who's only learned a few stitches? Have you learned a number of stitches but have trouble reading a pattern? Or maybe you are intermediate or advanced and can make almost anything. What types of projects have you completed?

Is there anything in particular you'd like help with this month?

We want to be ready to help!

If you are attending for the first time, how did you hear about the class?

Thank you for letting us know you'll be attending.
