February 20, 2010: Fair Isle Two-Color Knitting. This is a stranded 2-color knitting technique that is traditionally done in the round so that you only have to knit! You will knit a small bag. Be sure to get the handout when you sign up. Instructor, Robin Ziperman

March 20, 2010: Entrelac. Entrelac is a knitting technique used to create a textured diamond pattern. While the end result resembles basket-woven strips of knitted fabric, the actual material comprises interconnected squares on two different orientations. You'll be knitting a shawl. Get the handout when you sign up. Instructor, Tami Yinger

April 17, 2010: The Magic Loop. This technique allows you to knit small diameters in the round using a long circular needle instead of double pointed needles. It's great for socks, hats, and sleeves. Instructor, Robin Ziperman

May 15, 2010: Learn to Crochet. By learning how to make a Granny Square, you'll learn to chain, slip stitch, and double crochet. With these stitches and a variety of yarn choices you can make individual squares to sew into a blanket or one big square that will grow into an afghan. Instructor, Debra Hogan
