Learn to Knit and Crochet–June

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 July 3 for your first lesson.

Whew! We’re just finishing the last few items for our summer display–a farmers market to be installed June 2. It’s been quite a big project. Be sure to take a look before class; it’ll be in the lobby.

In our June class, we’ll discuss our next project then hone our skills a bit 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.

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.
