Knitting/Crochet for Australia
How you can help
Like you, our hearts are broken by the devastation in Australia. We have seen the calls on social media for knitted/crocheted items to help the injured and homeless wildlife, but we have received word from the groups working there that they have received all the blankets, pouches, and other pieces they can use. What they really need right now is money. It's very costly caring for all the displaced animals, feeding and housing firefighters. Here are some places where you can donate:
~ Australia Wildlife Conservancy
~ Australian Red Cross
~ Save the Children Bushfire Emergency Response
~ Zoos Victoria Bushfire Emergency Wildlife Fund
~ ZAA Bushfire Crisis Response

When making a knitted gauge swatch, you can "mark" the needle size used, by adding holes to the swatch. For each hole, work (yo, k2tog). If you're using a size 5, put in 5 holes, for an 8, put 8 holes, etc. Easy, and won't get lost when you wash your swatch.

Band (Inkle) Weaving
Saturday, January 25 from 1-5 pm, $33
Craft: Weaving
Teacher: Debbi
Would you like to make a band such as a belt, guitar strap, camera strap or hatband? Your rigid-heddle loom is certainly capable of doing such weaving. In this class, we’ll design and make a narrow band to learn the technique of warp-faced weaving.
Note! You can definitely do inkle-style or band weaving on a rigid-heddle loom, and that’s what this class is geared for. If you have an inkle loom, you may use it, but you must have at least 25 string heddles made for it and brought to class.
