Have you had a chance to think about what will help you be a better creator? Glad to see folks taking advantage of our Maker's Clinics to get back on track with projects, and the Technique days... a great way to try your hand at something new - who knows this might just turn out to be a new favorite technique!

Knitter's Technique in Feb will be Tuesday Feb 28th - Join Janet and try your hand @ Mosaic colorwork. This technique uses just one color at a time, and offers lots of variety. You will start with a face cloth but the possibilities are so numerous! 

Crochet Technique will be Thursday Feb 16. Marla will start this off with C2C (Corner-to-Corner). A great technique for blankets and afghans among other options.
