Tuesdays 6:00-8:00PM - August 3rd and 17th

Yes, it's on teeny-tiny needles and it requires lots of itty-bitty beads, but it is suprisingly quick to knit. Nevermind the fact that it is super cute too and will look great on anyone. This is a great project for people interested in knitting with beads, and we can't help but mention that it would make a great gift for the holidays. (Yes, it IS time to start knitting for the holidays.)
Materials: 1 ball of DMC Perle cotton thread and US #0000/1.25mm double pointed needles will be included in the cost of class, approximately 1400 - 1975 size 11 seed beads (depending on wrist size) available at The Rolling Bead (in Carlisle), tapestry needle
