Our Holiday Happenings workshops started out with mother nature deciding that it ought to be the first day she'd dump snow on Billings. What a better day to begin creating gifts for the upcoming holidays. Knitters, crocheters and even embroiderers spent the day gathered around the table and cuddled into comfy chairs.
These knitters were creating Scribble Lace with each knitters creation a splash of color and texture.
And all the while, sweaters were being knit in front of the fire.
While the sweaters started out tiny, they grew and grew. This group claimed that many sweaters could indeed be created in time for the holidays.
And then the pincushion crowd started working on these darling creations.
We were all aflutter with the late afternoon classes...Crocheted Felted Slippers and for the first time ever, Embroidery Basics. Needles, both large and small and hooks didn't stop the entire afternoon.
The crocheters worked hard to get these fabulous slippers started.
And the embroidery stitches were inspirational. The group looked on as they learned from Martha all in hopes that someday, they could create a beautiful piece just in time for gift giving.
We are certain to inspire you even more on Saturday, December 3rd. Look through the class offerings and sign up soon. The classes are filling quickly! We want you to be able to create a hand made holiday gift.
