    everything.  In the first class, you will learn to knit and bind off. Second class will include casting on, purling and reading a pattern. You
    should be able to knit up a scarf (yes, you will!) after leaving these classes, and maybe do some ribbing too.

    double, and triple crochet, with which you can make virtually any crochet project.

D2:Grrlfriend Market Bag
Come knit this fun and useful market bag!  A knitted amazement that stretches to fit all the goodies from the farmer's market, but    
when you take all the items out...the bag will will bounce back to its original highly stashable shape!  These bags are great for the
beach and a million and one other things.   A quick project which uses one skein of beautiful Snallygaster Lindy Hop Sock yarn and
a small amount of a coordinating  color if desired ( I used Tonic).  
Needles: Gauge is is pretty relative here--    5 double pointed needles size 4-5-6 16” circular needle size 5-6-7-8 24” circular needle
size 10 -10.5-11  Finished Size: The finished size of your bag will depend on the size of your needles, weight of yarn used, and
gauge achieved while knitting. The body of the bag is very very stretchy with a more rigid upper band to help keep its shape. The
pattern can make a larger or smaller  by increasing or decreasing the number of stitches on each side of the base when changing to
the body.
