Third Thursday Demo: December 15, 12:30 p.m.Join us on Thursday, December 15 at 12:30 p.m. for our regular Third Thursday Demo. This month Karen will demonstrate two new rulers from Creative Grids. The Stripology Squared ruler is so versatile. Using it you can cut strips at 1/2″ intervals (like the original Stripology ruler) and use the additional markings to square up half-square triangles, trim blocks up to 12 1/2″, and fussy cut with ease. Also featured will be the new 6″ Log Cabin Trim Tool. Make perfect log cabin blocks every time with this little gem of a ruler. Third Thursday Demo is always free. Bring and friend! |

Wednesday, December 14, 2016
1 – 5 p.m.
$18, plus supplies
THIS WEEK!
Do you have yarn in your stash that you’d like to use with a pattern, but it’s not the right weight? If so, you can learn to adjust patterns to match your yarn. Knit this cowl after learning to modify the pattern so you can knit with any size yarn or needles, from lace weight to bulky. The ability to adjust patterns is a great skill to have. Anne Worthington will teach this class. |
