Village Stitches teaching tradition |
Class and Sit and Stitch Schedules As of June 1, 2009, Village Stitches will no longer be charging a fee for classes. As classes become available, we will post them and we do ask that you register either in person, or by phone 309-663-9031. |
Sit and Stitch Beginning Lace ***FULL***
Join us for friendship and stitching (and snacks sometimes, because we're grown-ups and we can!) 6:30 til 8:30pm every Tuesday and Wednesday evening at the shop. This is a great time to relax and knit, needlepoint, or cross stitch. If you have suggestions for a different location to gather at every now and then, please let us know!
Taught by Abby
Ravelry has given us the opportunity to view and admire so many great patterns, and the Ashford Cowl is a great pattern for beginning lace. Using worsted weight yarn, this lovely leafy cowl will inspire you to explore the wonderful world of patterned knitting.
Thursday evenings, February 25th and March 4th from 6:30 til 8:00pm.
Class limit: 5
