New Classes COOKIE A'S MONKEY SOCKS Amy Decker, Instructor First Session Saturday, April 30th, 1:00-4:00 Additional two sessions to be determined by students and instructor A popular sock pattern from the Winter '06 issue of Knitty.com (http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTmonkey.html). A great pattern for introducing yourself to the worlds of socks, lace, and funky handpainted yarns. If you haven't tried one of those tempting multi-color handpainted or self-striping sock yarns, this is a great pattern to show off the yarn without overwhelming the simple lace design. Single color yarns will also work well. Amy will be using the double-pointed needles method of knitting in the round. However, students may use whatever method with which they are most comfortable. The class is designed for the intermediate knitter or the adventurous advanced beginner looking for a challenge. Techniques used: knitting and purling in the round, increases, decreases, yarn overs, knit 2 togethers, twisted stitches, short-row shaping, picking up stitches, grafting, and chart reading. It sounds like a lot, but Amy will walk students through each part of the sock by focusing on one area at a time. If a student is unable to make one of the sessions or feels the need for a little extra help, Amy is willing to arrange another time with them. $46.00 for 3 sessions plus cost of materials. REVERSIBLE LOTUS BLOSSOM HAT Pat Pennock, Instructor Thursday, May 19th and 26th, 5:30-7:30 A Moebius is the beginning of this well-fitting hat. Check out Cat Bordhi's A Treasury of Magical Knitting, which is required for this 2-session class.

Here's your chance to add such a stunner to your own or a friend's (she'll love you forever!!) wardrobe without adding to the pile of warm winter scarves. And it's EASY: Nuthin' but KNIT! And even better: it can be a one-skein wonder. Well, maybe a little extra fun challenge - beads. But easy. Promise!!

The beads transform this basic garter stitch scarf into a "wow!" creation. $15.00 plus cost of materials (Full materials list provided when you sign up.

The folks at Schoolhouse Press consider this sweater to be the best of Elizabeth Zimmerman's color-pattern designs. The magic of it is in the regular rotation of 3 colors on a background in patterns which never repeat themselves; there is a delightful rhythm of 3 stitches of one color, 1 stitch of another with an occasional plain round. This sweater can be either a cardigan or pullover, any size. Techniques include stranding, making a steek and setting in sleeves. It knits up quite quickly. See the store samples at the rose & Ram. $36.00 for classes plus cost of materials. THE MAGIC OF DOUBLE KNITTING Yvonne Cutright , Instructor Will be repeated in the Fall Years ago, I took this class with Yvonne when I owned Molehill Farm - one of the best classes I have ever taken!
