ABCs of Drop Spindling
If you have always been intrigued by spinners demonstrating their craft, have been curious about yarn construction, and/or have always wanted to learn to spin yourself, then this class is for you. We will begin with some background knowledge on drop spindles (history, types, anatomy, weights and mechanics, and supplemental tools). Then we will get down to business learning the steps to spinning a single on a spindle (choosing a spindle and fiber, starting with and without a leader thread, drafting techniques, winding on and building a secure cop). After spinning for a while and fine tuning our techniques, we will explore winding off options, plying options, and how to finish your yarn. And yes, you will go home a spinner!!

Two-at-a-time Toe-Up Socks
**** This is a two part class **** If you're a sock knitter, you might have suffered from one-sock-itis (aka one-sock syndrome), that dreaded lack of desire to start, much less finish, the second sock of a pair. Despair not, because we have the cure - knit both socks at the very same time! You're guaranteed to have two socks by the time you're done, and both socks will be exactly the same - no more trying to remember what you did on the first sock! We'll be knitting our pair of socks from the toe to the cuff - making it easy to get a good fit, and we won't have to worry about running out of yarn on the second sock. Whether you knit your socks using the Magic Loop or two circular needles, you can learn to knit two socks at the same time
