The holidays are finally behind us. Okay so my decorations are still up and I'm not really sure they'll be put away until February, but mentally I've moved beyond the candy, presents, and festivies. However, after all the hustle and bustle I need something to look forward to and sadly spring is too far away.
So... I'm taking a class. Actually, my mom and I are taking it together. Classes are a great way to expand your current knowledge and comfort level in a fun, relaxed, and friendly environment. Plus, by taking a class you get to meet other crocheters and knitters and feel more connected to this community. I can think of several "classmates" who took a happenstance meeting and have crafted it into a friendship.
Here are a few classes that are coming up within the next few weeks. Rally a friend (or a few), sign up with a relative, or come solo and ready to meet new people! For more info, check out the Classes section of the website.
