EVENTS

UPCOMING CLASSES
We have 15 classes that you can schedule during a variety of times, PLUS we have Beginning Knitting scheduled for the 19th & 26th of August from 5:30-7:30p or on the 23rd & 30th from 9-11a. We have 6 times open in August for those who want to schedule classes
 
YOU CAN DO IT
We can help – yes, stolen from Home Depot… but Oh, so true. We have Knitting at Noon on Wednesdays and we have Sip and Stitch the first and third Saturdays from 1-4p at Two Street Station coffee house. That means that you can get encouragement and free help, and the company of crochet queens, knit divas, bead lovers, and more… spin? Come play… weave? In your lap? Sure! Mostly our group is knitting, but we do encourage all the hand arts that are small enough to be easily portable.
 
KNIT ALONG
We are finishing up our Manos del Uruguay blankets. If you’re making one, please give us an update info@memoriesand.com; we are planning our FALL KNITALONGS… although – gasp… looks like one of them will be for crochet! Yup.

budding artistsYou should know that even the best crafters got their start knowing next to nothing. Tools, patterns, jargon... it's confusing. That's where we come in!
