Lake Geneva Retreat 2009

We’ve got loads of classes lined up over the summer for your knitting, crochet and felting pleasure.  There’s a few of our classics as well as a lot of new ideas. You can see everything and book your spot with our online schedule or you can download our trifold and print it out … it’ll fit nicely in your purse.

Always wanted to knit or crochet? Then our Knitting 101 or Crochet 101 is just for you.

The Knitting 101 class is for those who want to pick up knitting after a long lay-off or for absolute beginners. After four two-hour sessions you will have mastered all the fundamentals and completed a sampler scarf and be ready to tackle one of the many projects that we teach.

In Crochet 101 we will get you started on the crochet adventure. You’ll learn the basics and beyond (slip stitch, chain stitch, foundation chain, single crochet, double crochet, shell stitch and much more). You”ll learn enough to start your first project and pick up the skills needed to complement your knitting. You”ll make squares, washcloths and learn how to do edging.

See pictures and descriptions of all the classes on our website or you can subscribe to our RSS Feed for classes and events – that way you’re certain not to miss the additional classes that we plan to add in the coming weeks.

Knitting and Crochet Classes for Summer 2009

We do seem to get more ‘weather’ than almost anywhere else in the universe!  Meanwhile, our snowman waits patiently for warmer weather.

Like many of you I am trying hard not to watch the news … ye Gods and little fishes, it can get miserable out there with everything that is going on.  If we didn’t have Chicago politics to inject some much needed levity we would be in big trouble.

Thank goodness that we are all smart enough to be knitters and crocheters, people who always carry their own personal sphere with them, almost impervious to what else is going on, because we have our socks, our cardigan or our shawl to obsess about.  And we all know we can only truly obsess about one thing at a time, so I suppose it keeps us somewhat sane.

We offer plenty of opportunities to indulge your obsession during our classes, and at open knitting on Friday mornings and evenings as well as Sunday afternoon.
