Amber's Comments: If you're resolving to pick up a new hobby or to get crafty this year, GPL has a great opportunity to help get you started in the new year.
The first Tuesday of each month, the library offers the Hip to Knit
program for all ages and experience levels. Anyone who knits or crochets is welcome to bring their own project and knit in the company of others.
If you don't knit, but want to learn - we would love to have you. Bring a pair of needles and some enthusiasm, and we'll get started. It usually takes a little practice, but is a fun, addictive, and rewarding hobby once you start!
Join us in Reference Meeting Room upstairs from 5:30-7:30 pm on January 5.
I'll be working on my current project, Jaywalker Socks, which I got from Ravelry - a great FREE online pattern resource.
If you're looking for more knitting inspiration, the library has several great books. One of my favorites is Charmed Knits (check status at GPL). This book is great for Harry Potter fans. It has patterns of several sweaters that have been included in the Harry Potter movies, and some other patterns that are inspired by the series. You can also make your own house scarf, Errol the owl or some ornament-sized Weasley sweaters! The patterns include levels similar to those at Hogwarts (easy projects are OWLs and difficult ones are NEWTs), which adds a fun magical touch to the instructions.
There's nothing like cozying up with some nice yarn on cold winter nights, so make sure to join us on Tuesday!
