July - August 2008 Classes
This is a "rolling" class
schedule. What does this mean?
Instead of putting out the class schedule in 3 or 4 month chunks, I'm
going to be updating it on a monthly basis. At the beginning of
each month, I'll put out the following months classes; for example, at
the beginning of January, I put out February's classes. I'm hoping
that in having a more fluid schedule, I can be more responsive to the
classes people are interested in. If you sign up for our monthly email
newsletter, you'll be notified when the new classes are out. To
subscribe, just send an email to kelly@double-ewe-yarn.com
with Subscribe in the subject line.

| Knitter's
Choice |
I call this class Knitter's Choice with a nod Elizabeth Zimmerman, my knitting hero. Knitter’s choice is just that - YOUR choice: you pick the project, we provide the support. Knit what YOU want, but if you get stuck, don't worry, we can guide you along the way. This is a great option if you want to take a class with a friend, but you knit at different levels. Come to just one or all of the classes – knitter’s choice. |

| Knitting with
Kerri |
Are you
stuck on a project and need some help? Or are you stuck on five
projects? Do you have something in mind, but you're worried
about going it alone? Or maybe you were interested in one of
Kerri's classes, but it didn't fit into your schedule: socks,
felted clogs, lace shawls, entrelac, mitered squares, baby
surprise jackets. Maybe you want to try another of Elizabeth
Zimmerman's designs, but her instructions intimidate you. Come
to Knitting with Kerri and she'll give you the guidance you
need. And don't feel like you have to choose just one project! |

Stuff to do with Ewe
Great American Afghan Knit Along (GAA KAL for short)
When: Saturday mornings, 9:00 - 10:30.
The Scoop: In making this afghan, we'll explore a broad range of knitting techniques one square at at time: Entrelac, cables, lace; the list goes on. We'll be doing two blocks a month, but they're interchangeable, so feel free to repeat or omit blocks. Knit all 25 blocks for a full-size or make as many as you like to make a smaller throw. Each square is unique and uses different techniques. Each block was designed by a well-known
knitting designer, such as Meg Swanson, Melissa Leapman, Sally Melville, Lily Chin, etc. Jump
in anytime!
Cost: Free
What you'll need: The Great American Afghan ($12.95)
Suggested yarns: Plymouth Encore, Cleckheaton Country 8-Ply (Because the afghan is knit a square at a time using different colors, you can feel free to purchase the yarn as you go rather than all at once.)
Mother Bear Project
The Mother Bear Project is dedicated to providing comfort and hope to children, primarily those affected by HIV/AIDS in emerging nations, by giving them a gift of love in the form of hand-knit and crocheted bears. Please remember, you do not have to come to the group to participate in this project. I have brochures and patterns available here at the shop. We've already started accumulating bears, and they're CUTE! This could be fun!
When: The first and third Thursdays each month, from 2:30 -
5:00
Why: Join us as we knit bears for Mother Bear Project to bring comfort & hope to children in Africa affected by HIV/AIDS.
What you will need to bring: Size 7 needles. I will some yarn available to use, but if you have yarn you'd like to use or share, you're welcome to bring it as well. Each bear takes a "fist size" ball each of three colors: one "bear colored", one for his pants, and one for his shirt. The yarn needs to be either acrylic or machine washable wool.
Cost: Coming to our group is free. However, we need to contribute $5.00 to The Mother Bear Project for each pattern and to cover shipping the first bear you make to Africa. With each additional bear you contribute, I'll need to collect $3.00. I will pass this money on to Mother Bear Project, where it goes directly into shipping the bears air-mail through the US Postal Service and taxes and duty on the receiving end in Africa.
