| Class name | Arezzo - Intermediate Crochet |
| Description | Arezzo is a lacy, drapey neck kerchief approximately 41 in. in length and 14 in. at the deepest point. Crocheted with Lana Grossa Lace Lux, it has a lovely sheen, as well. Arezzo is crocheted from the longest side, decreasing every other row down to the point. The edging is a combination of progressively taller stitches and picots. |
| Experience required | Must be able to chain, single crochet, double crochet, and count stitches. Some ability to read patterns is helpful. This project is considered an intermediate-level project. |
| Materials needed | 1 ball of Lana Grossa Lace Lux, Arezzo pattern provided by Haus of Yarn, and crochet hook size “7” (4.5mm). A “7” hook is between a “G” hook and an “H” hook. You can use a “G” to make the kerchief. You can also use an “E” or an “F” hook; however, the kerchief will not be quite as drapey. Darning needle for weaving in ends.

| Class name | Two-At-A-Time Socks with One Circular Needle |
| Description | Beat that "2nd Sock Syndrome", knit them both at the same time! No more trying to figure out what you did with the first sock or fiddling with multiple needles. Using one long circular needle to knit both socks simultaneously will have you wondering why you ever did it any other way. We will be using a great pattern book with tons of references that you will use again and again. You will also learn some great tips on how to avoid the holes that show up on either side of the gusset and to create a fitted instep on any sock pattern for a supportive fit.
