August Classes, KALs & CALs

There’s a mixed bag of projects coming up for August.  Winter is coming.  (Ha! Successful Game of Thrones Reference) The holidays are coming too, it’s time to get to work on those gifts and some of these projects may make a great ones.  All of our offerings for August will be lead or taught by Candy.
Please sign up at least 48 hours before classes/KALs/CALs begin, by phone at 770-563-3130, in person, or through the pay pal link below at the end of this post. This will guarantee your spot.  Space is limited.  Yarn and patterns for each offering must be purchased at Yarn Rhapsody.
By popular demand we are offering  Building with Lace by Michelle “Knit Purl” Hunter.  This is Michelle’s third publication featuring patterns that build skills along the way.  By the end of this KAL you’ll have an amazing lace shawl featuring nine different lace patterns.  It’s a sizable and beautiful piece of work.  This KAL has a couple of options.  You have a choice of how many sessions you would like to attend, the full KAL is 18 sessions for $80, or you’re welcome to attend 9 for $45. You will be required to purchase the book for this KAL.
Session Dates: August 12, 19, 26 – September 2, 6, 9, 13, 16, 20, 23, 27, 30 – October 4, 7, 11, 14, 18, 25
Saturday Session Times:Noon – 1pm Wednesday Session Times: 6pm – 7pm
Skill Level: Adventurous Beginner (really, this can be your first lace knitting these books are designed to be fully educational)
Are you looking for a unique crochet shawl? Well, here you go.  Hotel of Bees is an interesting and subtly complex piece that will keep you on your toes.  Featuring overlay, open, and filet crochet techniques with a modern twist this isn’t A 1970s thrown back.  Because of the complexity of pattern this one is a class offering.
Class Cost: $60
Session Dates: August 5, 19 – September 2 from 1:30pm – 2:30pm
Skill Level: Intermediate – Advanced
Fall in Georgia is one of those odd in between times where a heavy shawl is way to warm but something lightweight is perfect.  Reverse Psychology is perfect for fall and early winter here in the south.  It begins on the bias and has a wonderful abstract shape with several partial bind offs.   The pattern features beadwork but can easily be done without.
KAL Cost: $30
Session Dates: August 5, 19 – September 2 from 3pm-4pm
Skill Level: Intermediate
Gainesville seems to be just as obsessed with elephants as it is chickens.  For you out-of-towners that don’t get that joke, Gainesville, GA is considered the chicken capital of the world.  Loxodonta & Elephas the African Flower Elephants can be your next stuffed animal friends.  Crocheted and then joined in multiple pieces these guys can be made using any yarn weight creating tiny elephants to giant ones.  The color possiblities are endless here.
Class Cost: $60
Session Dates: August 12, 26 – September 9 from 1pm-2pm
Skill Level: Intermediate
And bringing up the back of the line, because slow and steady wins the race, there’s Sheldon the Turtle.  This is a cute one for the little ones, or for us big ones that just like having a stuffy here and there.  Sheldon has a removable shell, so if you’re so inclined you can make different colors and patterns for any occasion.
KAL Cost: $30
Session Dates: August 12, 26 – September 9 from 2:30pm – 3:30pm
Skill Level: Intermediate
There it is, an action packed offerings schedule!  Keep in mind, if you don’t feel like you are ready for a group class we do offer individualized instruction for $40 per 1 hour session.  We hope to see you in our upcoming offerings.
