Bring a pile of leftover yarns in roughly the same weight (DK or worsted weight yarns are best, but fingering can be doubled, and chunky yarns can be worked in for texture).

Tools: Knitting needles appropriate to the yarn weight, crochet hook appropriate to yarn weight, tapestry needle. $35 for 2 sessions, including a 10% discount on all full price merchandise during the event and access to the pile of shop yarns.

Or you can take the first step toward creating original garments. Homework: None.
