Sorry Sorry Sorry

It is about time I got this class schedule out to you. It seems just as we recover from one show we are getting ready for the next. Even though we are busy running around there are still classes and fun events going on here at a Dropped Stitch.

Armand is willing to be here for a men’s knitting group. We would like to get your input. If there is enough interest we will probably start in the fall, one evening a week, every 2 weeks or once a month. The will give the guys and opportunity to share their work and to learn from one another.

We are also trying to get Armand to teach another class for us, he would like to know what kind of class would you like. We’ll keep you posted.

May 7 and 21st Thursday 1:30. Joy will be teaching a hooded poncho class. Come in and see the project you will be working on. $40.

May 13Wednesday 1:30-3:30 Jeannie will be teaching needle tatting. There is a limit of 4 per class. $20.

Some other exciting news we are headed to Portland to the Knit & Crochet Show May 15-17. We are going as vendors and students. If you have never been to a show like this you are missing out. There are many vendors and classes. It is worth the trip. If you would like more information go to www.KnitandCrochetShow.com we would love to see you there.
