Our first book will be The Prayer of Jabez by Dr. Bruce Wilkinson. There is no need to have read this book before participating, for we shall read the first few pages together. The intent is to read only a few pages each week so that the discussion can be manageable in 30 to 45 minutes and so that busy people can participate. Students will learn how to knit, purl, cast on, and bind off. Class size is limited to three students, and pre-registration is necessary.
Pattern stitches to be taught include broken check, seed stitch, ribbing, ear of corn, and more.
With these skills students will be able to read commercial patterns and knit easy sweaters and scarves. If you are interested, let us know so that class dates may be determined. The class will provide beginning computer users with a basic understanding of the concepts and terminology involved in connecting to and surfing the Internet, including a brief history of the World Wide Web, overview of the web browser, and techniques involved in using searching engines and other data searching resources. Since class size is limited, pre-registration is required. The library is considering offering additional computer classes.
