anastacia's knitting classes 2006

Brag a little Anastacia:

Classes taught by Anastasia, she is fabulous!

Afghan By Squares - This excellent learn-to-knit class is ideal for new and intermediate knitters. Following instructions for basic casting-on and stitch structure, a logical progression of patterns will lead you through: Knit-Purl, Mosaic, Slip-Stitch, Twist-Stitch patterns, Cables, Increase/Decrease, & Lace. We will complete most of the 63 squares this book has to offer. By the time you finish your last square, there will be very little you do not know about stitch pattern techniques and you will have a beautiful afghan to boot! Class Price will vary depending on difficulty of the square. First class $6.

Flapper Hat - This hat is reminiscent of the roaring 20's and will have you looking cute and warm on the windy/breezy days here in Humboldt. Knitting a piece of cake? Binding off not a problem? Are you a purling professional? If you answered yes to these three questions then you are ready to learn the more intermediate level techniques this class has to offer. $20

Beginning Crochet (Crochet Market Bag) - Crochet is the hot trend in fiber arts. A quick look at some of the summer's styles and you will see crochet is coming on strong.
