There's a great summer line up waiting for your perusal on the Class tab of the website. Download your copy today. And this is a gentle reminder to start your holiday projects so you're not chomping on the holiday crunch bar.

We have two new instructors. Let me introduce Amy and Jean and give you a brief description of what's available this summer.

Amy Pope is a knitting enthusiast and is broadening her knitting repertoire through teaching. Amy likes a challenge and is up for anyone that wants to learn to knit - man, woman, crocheters, right handed, left handed. You can do it! Amy's also teaching an intermediate class on reading ball bands and yarn substitution.

Jean Drevdahl-Orchard is our new needlework instructor with over 20 years of experience in many needlearts forms. She is teaching a needlepunch centerpiece for Independence Day, a embroidered needle book and beginning cross stitch.

Leah Moog is teaching a summer baby series. Do you have a special baby or baby-on-the-way in your life? You can make toe-up baby socks, a baby bib and a baby sweater. If you want to learn how to make a sweater a baby sweater is a good place to start. It's small and quick and you learn a lot of sweater techniques in the process.

Christa Kangas teaches beginning crochet. This is a good refresher course if you've had crochet before. Oh, and Christa just started her own bird babysitting company, so if you are going on vacation this summer, Christa can watch your bird.

Charlene Sabin is teaching two intermediate techniques in color. Mosaic knitting is an easy way to incorporate color in your knitting using slip stitches. Double knitting allows you to create a double-sided, reversibly colored fabric.

Tish Chacon is teaching two different handpieced quilt blocks. One for July and one for August.

Carol Combelic teaches beginning spinning. We have two sessions this summer because this class is so popular. Carol's class is fun. You get loads of information on preparing fiber for spinning, different fiber choices and, of course, you learn to spin and you'll play with Carol's spinning toys.
