The “Brea Bag” has become a favorite here at the Cottage. Ours is made from a great cotton yarn for the summer, but we will be knitting our next one from one of our beautiful winter yarns.
Everyone who has seen our shop sample wants to make it…….you will too!! Kits for this project will include a free pattern and sufficient yarn. Also available for sale are purse handles and decorative buttons.
Classes are scheduled for September 15 & 22. See our class calendar on our Home Page.
Class schedules for July and August are being prepared and will be posted soon. Please make your reservation as soon as you can for the “Knitspeak 101″ class, July 18th from 9:30am to 11:00am. This is an incredible opportunity to meet author Andrea Berman-Price and learn some invaluable tools for pattern reading. Included in the cost of the class is an autographed copy of her book. All this for $25.00! Other upcoming classes are some 1 day scarf and wrap classes, Entrelac, the Hounds Tooth felted handbag, Mother and Daughter beginner’s knitting classes and Berroco’s “Brea Bag”. Kathy will have a special class on how to line a handbag. Another 1 day class is the Cafe’ Capelet we found on Ravelry. It’s an open weave little capelet/scarf that can be knit in a variety of yarns either for right now as an accessory or in more fall and winter yarns for warmth. Of course, as always, we will be offering beginning knitting and crocheting classes.
August will be “Classes on Demand!” We’ve scheduled Saturday classes as usual but we want YOU to determine the classes. If you have a project that you’ve been wanting to make, but need help, set up a class.If there’s a class we offered and you could not make it at the time, now’s the time. How about a technique that you want to learn, we’ll show you.We have set aside Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays all through August for you to make up your own classes. As always, yarn purchased for classes will be 15% off!
