HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY - WHETHER YOU ARE IRISH OR NOT - LUCK TO YOU!!!!!!

JUST WANTED TO UPDATE EVERYONE ON SOME EXCITING KNITTING NEWS. AVERAGE KNITTERS AT THE LIBRARY HAS BEEN ABOUT 6-7 WEEKLY, SO A NICE GROUP WITH THEIR OWN LITTLE SPECIAL CORNER. AS THE LIBRARY WILL BE CLOSED, THERE WILL BE NO KNITTING ON APRIL 3RD OR APRIL 7TH (EVENING CLASS). HOWEVER, THE LIBRARIAN WANTS TO LEARN TO KNIT SOCKS, SO GUESS WHAT......................THERE IS GOING TO BE A SOCK CLASS - THAT IS GREAT.

THE INSTRUCTIONAL CLASSES WILL BEGIN AFTER EASTER. KNITTERS WILL NEED 5 WOODEN DOUBLE POINT NEEDLES - SIZE 2 - AND AT LEAST 416 YARDS OF SOCK YARN. SOME SKEINS NOW HOLD ENOUGH YARN FOR A PAIR OF SOCKS. IF THEY NEED TO BUY 2 SKEINS AND THE YARDAGE IS CLOSE - IT IS ADVISABLE TO BUY 3 SKEINS. THIS WILL BE FOR A REGULAR WOMAN'S SOCK. NATURALLY, IF YOU WANT YOUR SOCK TO BE LONGER OR LARGER, YOU WILL NEED MORE YARN AND POSSIBLY LARGER NEEDLES. I'M SURE IF YOU HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS, REN WOULD NOT MIND YOU CALLING AT THE EXTENSION OFFICE FOR ADVICE. SHE ALSO ADVISES TO DEFINITELY GET WOODEN NEEDLES, AS METAL WILL NEVER STAY PUT!!!!

SO THERE YOU GO - SOMETHING DEFINITELY TO PLAN FOR AND LOOK FORWARD TO.

Dot - I thought this might give you a doggie knitting idea - LOL!!!!!!
