What to Expect

Tips for Class
- Ask about supplies when you register. If you need to bring your own, a smooth, light-colored worsted-weight yarn and a hook in the size the label suggests are easy to learn with, since it's easier to see your stitches.
- Bring a project bag to keep everything together.
- Arrive a few minutes early to get settled before 2 p.m.
- Bring questions. If you're stuck on a stitch or pattern, a class is a great place to ask.

Harlem has a small-town charm that's hard to beat, and its library is a wonderful community resource. If you're curious about life in Harlem or anywhere in Columbia County, I'm always happy to talk neighborhoods. Enjoy your afternoon of crocheting!
