Free Classes

(Knit or Crochet this time)

This Saturday, April 10, we are having Two Free Classes. Our monthly washcloth class begins at 9 a.m., and the theme is Spring! Meg is dying the yarns as you read this, and there are patterns for knit and crochet cloths. Flowers and fun are what's going on. In the second free class, we will make the Ergonomic Handle Crochet Hook. Drop in anytime after 11:00am and we will get you started on your own custom hook. We will even bake them here while you wait. The toaster oven is ready to go! Each class has a supply fee of $5.00 per kit.

The Tower Classic Car Show is Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00pm. Bring the family and let them walk the show while you take one of our two free classes. There may be road closed signs but the street is usually open up to the shop. Even if it isn't the day should be lovely for a walk.
