Coming up:
Felted Bag with Pockets
Instructor: Fran Jepperson
Date: September 16, 2023. 10:30am-12:30pm
Come and learn about the art and “magic” of felting. A Sheep Tote, by Bev Galeskas, can be knit in two sizes and with or without pockets. The class will cover knitting the bag, how to add pockets if desired and knitting the i-cord handle. We will also cover the basics of felting, tips using your washing machine and the importance of shaping (blocking) to achieve the results you want. In November, we will be offering a needle felting class and stitchery/embellishment class to decorate your new bag.
Materials: 500 gm Ella Rae Classic Wool (or equivalent), US size 13 circular 24″ needle, basic knitting supplies, tapestry needle and locking stitch markers. Fee: $25 + pattern.

You will love these slippers! We chose the Felted Clogs pattern by Bev Galeskas for this class. Knit with two strands of Classic Wool, they are designed to create a thick firm fabric when felted. They feature double soles for extra comfort and longer wear. Come and learn how to knit this ingenious design and the basics of how to felt and fit the finished piece.
