This workshop teaches you how to accurately measure yourself so that all dimensions fit you properly.

You will learn how to ease in your correct measurements and change the smallest details that will make all the difference in the way your garment (sweater, vest, skirt) fits your body.

You will have the opportunity to make a form of your body to take with you for fitting purposes.

This is probably one workshop everyone who knits and crochets should take!

Why continue wasting your time and money on garments that come out either too small or too large?! Once and for all, make your knits fit!

This is one of the options at our Spring Workshop at Pine Lake Country Club in April. Please join us there.

Tunisian entrelac is a fascinating technique and gorgeously done in our multi-colored yarns.

Whether you crochet or not, this workshop is for you! You will be using a crochet hook, but the stitch appears woven. Lovely!

This project is part of our Spring Workshop lineup at Pine Lake Country Club in April.

No more! Learn how to add beads as you go with this darling knitted bracelet made with metallic yarn. You’ll want to make more for gifts. A fast fun project that’s beautifully finished.

Come to our Spring Workshop at Pine Lake Country Club to get started.
