K2TOG & Lush Spinners Wed. 4-8pm
The Irish Ewe hosts a Stitch and Bitch on Wednesday nights from 4pm to
8pm. K2TOG Night is free - we provide the coffee and tea, you bring your
knitting. You can bring some potluck cookies (or anything else chocolate!)
or leave something in our cookie fund jar. If spinning is your thing,
you can join mom (Deb) limited rental wheels available, or bring your own. This
is an adult only group, as we may bring out some wine (nothing like sloshy
ladies with sharp, pointy sticks to liven a night up!)
Please note - Wednesday nights are a free knit night, we do not teach
or offer free lessons at the knitting table (unless you are signed up
in a class) as this is often the only time we get to knit and spin
ourselves . We will, however, be more than happy to give you our thoughts
on your project. Usually whether you want it or not! If you do need Drop In Help, please remember to leave a tip.
KID’S KNIT CLUB every other Saturday 12-2pm - On hold.
Join Andrew as the kids take over the back room! Show off your work, see
what others are up to, and get a little help too. This is not a class,
but Andrew can help with problems. Please bring a snack to share or leave
something in the Cookie Fund Jar. Ages 8 and up welcomed. In the mean
time you can join the Kids Knit email chat group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KidsKnit
DROP IN HELP
We offer drop in help anytime! Up to 15 minutes of help without waiting
for a classes, just enough to get through that one tough spot! No set
cost - please leave a tip in the Cookie Fund Jar. Private Lessons - Anything
over 15 minutes really needs an appointment. We offer private group and
one-person classes for adults and children, just ask for more details.
