Everyone age 8 and up is invited to The Ladder Community Center this fall to learn how to knit chunky blankets. There are two class dates to choose from at this time: Monday, Oct. 6 and Monday, Nov. 10 from 6-8 p.m. This step-by-step finger knitting tutorial by instructor Kelli Gleason does not require knitting needles and is also easy for kids to learn. Participants are required to bring their own yarn (Yarn Bee #7 or Bernat Blanket Extra Thick). The cost for each class is $10 per person.
Class participants will be entered in a giveaway drawing with prizes valued at $5-$120 each time they attend one of the classes this fall (through Nov. 10). The sign-up deadline for the October class is Sept. 29 and the deadline for the November class is Nov. 3. Call or text Kelli at (231) 301-1983, or email her at crazeeblanketlady@yahoo.com. To sign up, email or text Kelli anytime; or call her during these hours: Mon-Thu: 11-11:30 a.m. and anytime after 4:30 p.m. Fri-Sun: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Ladder Community Center is located at 67 N. State St. in Shelby.
