March at the Farm

 

Felting Friday

Farm Spinning

Wednesday, March 15 and April 19
10 to 2 pm

Bring your wheel (or knitting) and join us for a free spinning group and potluck lunch. I believe this is the BEST way to improve your skills and enjoy the day. And if you already know how to spin well, join us and share. Questions?  Send me an email.

Toe-Up Socks

You will learn a method that makes two socks at a time, from the toe up, using the magic loop method.

This intermediate knitting class meets on three consecutive Wednesday nights March 22 & 29, and April 5 from 6 to 8 pm. $65 for all three lessons.  Register here.
