COZY WRISTLETS:
If you're a brand new or unsure knitter, this is the pattern for you!! We'll have you knitting in no-time and soon enough your wrists will be nice and cozy.
PLEASE BRING:
~ size 11 knitting needles
~ 2 balls of "Lionbrand Hometown USA" or "Jiffy Thick & Quick" yarn

Have you mastered the knit stitch and are looking for more of a challenge? Ready to start purling? Or are your ankles and wrists chilly? This is the pattern for you!
PLEASE BRING:
~ size 9 needles (if you're buying new ones, please consider 16" circular needles. We'll be using them next month when we learn to "knit in the round")

FYI Workshop Update!!

Hi all,

Just a quick note to let you know that this week's workshop (Oct 13th) will be cancelled due to a family illness. I'm working on scheduling a new date with Joyce (hopefully to make some sweet Christmas goodies), but in the meantime please say a prayer for her mom who's in the hospital.

We'll be back next Thursday, October 20. Hooray!!
Hope to see you there at 7:30 pm!

Best,
Michelle

PS - and a HUGE thanks to everyone that came out for knitting last week, it was a blast!!!

Mystery Scarf Knitting!

Hey everyone,

It's getting chilly outside, which can only mean one thing... it's time for Craft Social Workshop knitting again!! Ok, maybe it means that Fall is arriving, but knitting is way more fun!

Come on out this Thursday, October 6th from 7:30 til 9:30 pm. We'll be making mystery scarves (I could tell you what that means, but then it wouldn't be a mystery would it?).

WHERE:
Craft Social Workshop
1426 Williams Street
Southside Chattanooga

PLEASE BRING SIZE 11 KNITTING NEEDLES with you!! The workshop cost is FREE but small donations for yarn are greatly appreciated.

Hope to see you there!
Michelle

PS - Beginners are welcome to come learn, we love to teach newbies. And experienced knitters are always welcome to come hang out, but please bring whatever you're working on for us to oodle and be inspired by!

Cereal Box "Silver" Pendants

This week at Craft Social Workshop is going to be SO much fun! We'll be creating gorgeous pendants out of cereal boxes... I know it's a bit nutty, but trust me, you'll LOVE this project and it's a blast to make.

WHAT:
Cereal Box Pendant Workshop

WHERE:
1426 Williams Street
Southside Chattanooga

WHEN:
Thursday, September 29, 2011
7:30 til 9:30 pm

COST:
$5 (includes workshop and materials)
PLEASE NOTE: Due to material cost of this particular workshop, the fee doesn't include a necklace, it's just for the pendant supplies. If you're in need of a chain, there are tons of awesome choices available at stores like Hobby Lobby, Michaels & Walmart.

As always, all are welcome especially beginners and so-called "non-crafty" folks. PLEASE rsvp if possible so that I can have plenty of seats & supplies for everyone.

Hope to see you there,
Michelle
