Do you want to learn how to make one of those beautiful chunky knit throw blankets you see in popular homestyle stores? Did you know that you don’t need to be an experienced knitter or even use knitting needles to make one? Come join an accomplished crafter on how to learn the skill of mastering the chunky blanket. In this class, you will learn how to start the blanket, how to join new skeins, and how to finish the blanket. You will also learn how to hide any mistakes with this forgiving chunky yarn. After creating your first blanket you will master the skills to make additional blankets for anyone who admires yours. There will be a $70 payment made to the instructor on the first class for the specific yarn needed. This class is for students in grades 6-8 and has a maximum capacity of 10 students.

INSTRUCTOR: Monica Ivankovic is a middle school teacher who has introduced her students as well as adults to Wellness Classes by doing hand knitting and slow stitching as a form of relaxation.
