In the Clutch: Zippered Handbag Workshop
Mondays, June 3, 10, 17 and 24, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Central Library, Level 1 Fresh City Lounge
Registration Closed

We resisted the urge to call this class the Dapper Dan workshop after the 1970s plush doll that kids used to learn how to dress themselves. You’ll be knitting a clutch purse that will help you explore techniques that will multiply your fibers skills immensely. In this sweet little bag pattern (created for us by our teacher Ann Myhre), you’ll discover opportunities to put in a pocket, add buttonholes, create slip stitch colorwork, install a zipper by hand and add a flourish with crochet edgings. Complete this four-week workshop, and you’ll feel like a big kid in the world of technical knitting. All materials included ($25 materials fee). You’ll also need size 7 knitting needles, which you may bring from home or purchase on the first night of class. Registration is closed
