Knit House Slippers--Begin to Use DPNs w/Maureen Nov 28 and Dec 5 6:00-7:30pm 

Join us for this fun and easy introduction to using double pointed needles. These sweet house slippers make an excellent quick gift and will keep your tootsies warm long into the lengthy winter months. Add a pom pom or tassel for some flair or suede soles for added durability. 

Why would you ever want to use double pointed needles? DPNs allow you to knit things with smaller circumferences than a circular needle would. They are used for mittens, socks, slippers, gloves, closing the top of a hat, sleeves, toys, and beyond! These needles may look a little scary but after this class they will be a piece of cake.
