We are joining the hen house; opening the coup; cackling up a storm... you get the picture. Come join the fun and find out why the Emotional Support Chicken is a thing. We are opening the doors to Friday night fun (every other week - check the drop down menu) from 6:30-9pm. After a hard week at work, what could be a better way to unwind than to knit or crochet a chicken?!? By the time you have finished your glorious companion you will have navigated so many short rows you will be an expert! You will not complete the chicken in one session. You will have a good start, and you will know where to go next, yet there will be more knitting ahead. Come to as many sessions as you like with just the one fee. Skill Level: Adventurous Beginner - Must know how to cast on and be comfortable with the knit stich Skills Developed: Short rows, seaming, and an increased sense of joy Materials Needed: This is a great scrap yarn project! Bring what you have; use what we put out for free; or purchase something new and fresh. If following the directions (you don't need to!!) than you will need the following amount of yarn. You can "go rouge" and use whatever you like! It is a fun project.
