Do you want to learn to knit? Or are you a knitter who would like help learning a new technique? This Summer the Library is pleased to offer Knitting for Teens. It meets daily August 16-20. If you are entering eighth grade or older, the time slot is from 3: 30 to 5 PM.

No materials are necessary for beginners. We will spend the first day making our own needles with wood and polymer clay. The next day we will start knitting and participants will learn what can be made with a simple square or rectangle: a belt, a skinny scarf, a cell phone or ipod cozy, or a drawstring treasure bag. You decide!

If you are already a knitter you may bring a project and work on it. Learn to purl, rib, or even do a cable stitch.

Supplies for beginners are provided, so you need only bring your interest and enthusiasm!

Registration is required: sign up at 594-5040.
