You can choose a project with Rose's help which will take you where you want to go in learning a new skill, or simply guide you to the completion of something you've been wanting to make! Are you a beginner? Or perhaps you're ready to learn cables or knit your first sweater... whatever the case, this would be the class for you! Rose Graham can assist you along the way while you set the pace by attending the Wednesday morning or evening class as frequently as you choose. Cost of the class is $25 for those who come with projects purchased at MCYC and $40 for those who come with projects purchased elsewhere.
	Knit Night!! Join us the first Thursday of every month from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Come with a knitting project (or select one at the shop) and enjoy the company of other knitters....there is no charge and there is no lesson involved--just fun knitting with friends.

	Beaded Scarf Class This scarf takes the prize for the most "ooohs and aaahs" by visitors to the shop. Ann Wheat Pace will be offering the two session class, dates & times TBA. Cost is $100 and includes yarn, pattern, beads, and instruction. You will also need size 5 needles (straight or circular).
	Continental Knitting Why learn a new way to knit? Continental is easier, that's why. Rose says continental style knitting (left-hand carry) goes faster than English style (right-hand carry), and, when you're knitting a lot the change of motion prevents your hands from getting tired. Another reason? It's fun. Class size 2-4. Cost is $40. Call for specific dates and times.
	Woopsie! This is a class everyone has been asking for... how to fix mistakes. Rose will help you learn how to recognize and correct the errors we all find in our work: picking up dropped stitches; rescuing vs. ripping; correcting stitch alignment. You will bring to the session a sample knitted up beforehand to use during the class to practice and learn your new skills. Class size 2-5. $40 for one two-hour session. Call for dates and times.
