Long-time BCC member Mara Silverberg is offering a two-part Crocheting 101: Scarf-making class on January 7 and 14 from 2:30 - 5 pm (with a snack break). No experience is necessary. The class is free for BCC members and $10 per session for non-members. (Five hours is not enough to make a complete scarf; you will have to continue working on it at home.)
You must pre-register by December 27. Materials will cost approximately $25, and you can either purchase them yourselves or pre-pay Mara (via Venmo: 818-970-5997), and she will get them for you. If you register after January 1st, you must purchase your own supplies. Please contact Mara for a list of necessary supplies.
