Thursday Night Knitters: The Ballintober Tee. With Mary Crosby. 4 Sessions: September 25, October 9, October 23, November 6, 2025. 6:30 to 8:30 PM. $125.00. $50.00 deposit holds your space. Call 203-245-5921 to register.

Learn to knit the Ballintober Tee! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ballintober-tee . This top down shirt will be a fun and stylish knit. You will learn how to work in the round, make slanted increases, work German short rows, and to knit lace from a chart (or written instructions, your choice!).

The Elusive Multi-Strand Braided Rug.  With Deana David of www.ribboncandyhooking.com.  Ssturday, September 27,, 2025. 1-4 PM.   $110.00.  $25.00 deposit holds your space.  All materials included. 

Everyone has heard of and seen a traditional braided rug, made up of the parts. The 'braided-in' rug dates back to the early 20th century and, being so poorly documented from generation to generation, nearly fell out of existence because so few people knew how to make it. Learn the mystery of the multi-braid and learn how to braid a very simple 8-strand rug that works up so quickly you won't believe it! 

The class comes with 1-2 pounds of randomly colored t-shirt material already cut into strips, and all the clips and pins you will need to make a small rug. Feel free to bring some old t-shirts in colors you like to add to your stockpile and I can show you how to chop shop them to get the most out of them; it is not necessary as the class comes with the materials you will need, but sometimes it's fun to cut up an old tie dye or a nostalgic old shirt that has special meaning to you.  

This is a great recycle/ repurpose project that will give you the skills, tools, and knowledge to carry on making beautiful braided rugs of other shapes and styles in the future, using your castaway clothing. Please bring scissors. Everything else is supplied for you to keep.
