It's time to start thinking about what gifts you are going to make for family and friends. Does Mom need a new pair of fingerless mitts? Maybe Dad or Husband needs a new hat to stay warm while working on snow removal. Warm socks would find a welcome home with anyone on your gift list. Does someone need an afghan in a drafty house? Classes that teach the techniques for these ideas and more are going to be starting up in August.
What is your knitting or crocheting gift list looking like? Are you doing anything for coworkers? Do you create for charity? Let the me know in a comment.
Are there techniques you would like to learn that I have not offered? Let me know of interests you have. I'm always interested in what others might want to learn.
Do you have a wish to see matching hand crafted stockings to hang by your fireplace? A Granny pentagon or an elongated sock design can both help fulfill this wish.
How about a knit tree skirt? Crocheted snowflakes or icicles? A nice crocheted popcorn garland to wrap around the tree?
Have you had a desire to knit a sweater for a gift? Pattern ideas will be coming in the future. Check with yarn companies for patterns for a start.

New Classes Scheduled
Well, Lent and Easter are over. I hope everyone had a nice holiday vacation. I know I did. Even though I cooked for the family like I do every year, I got to spend a lot of time with my husband and son that I don't normally have due to work conflicts.
Festival season will be starting soon. I co-chair my church's festival each year. During that time for set up, festival week, and clean up, I will not be running classes. You will notice a gap in the class line up from the middle of June until the end of July. This is why there is a gap. I look forward to doing more blogging in the future.
Here is a schedule of my beginner knit classes. Below you can find the advanced knit classes and both beginner and advanced crochet classes. I look forward to each one of these classes.

It's that "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" again
Seems like we just had Halloween and now Thanksgiving is just a day or two away and time to think seriously about Christmas knitting or crocheting. I have been busily knitting for presents. Pictures will be posted after the recipients get them.
For those just starting their holiday crafting, Caron International has their 12 days of Christmas patterns started. http://www.caron.com/ The front page shows their Christmas Cactus Scarves pattern with the picture being the link. You can sign up for email reception of news of the patterns as they come out.
These patterns work up easily and are done in worsted weight yarns. If the Christmas colors or their choices are not to your taste or that of your intended recipient, there are a whole host of others to choose from.
My calendar of December classes will be posted later today after I get off work.
