This is a great idea to spend time with your daughter and learn a craft together.
Knitting and Crochet classes The Heritage Hut 2427East Douglass Wichita, KS 67211 316-682-4082 Have you ever wanted to learn how to knit or crochet? Here's a great opportunity to learn. It would be a fun way to have our daughters learn right along with us. I went to these classes approx. 12 yrs. ago and Mary, the store owner, is the one who taught me how to knit and how to weave on a loom. The cost of the classes are $2 per class plus the cost of your yarn. Mary asks that if you have children under the age of 13, a parent needs to be there. Each class teaches one project. So you can go to just one at a time, anytime. Kim Times are: Tues. and Thurs. 1-3pm Wed., Fri: 10-noon Thurs. evening: 6-8 Sat. 2-4pm
