SATURDAY CLINICS Saturdays, From 3:00-4:00 $10 each, or 3/$25 At Purls Tucson we have project-oriented, multiple-session workshops as well as 1 to 2 hour technique-driven classes without projects.  Check out our "Technique Classes" and "Project Oriented Clinics" and "Beginning Knitting & Crochet Classes" and "Knit & Crochet Dr. Aid" for our other classes. Clinics are technique-driven classes. We work on practice pieces, not on your knitting projects. This allows you to hone your skills before beginning the actual project. Use these clinics to beef up your skill base. In order to sign up for Saturday Clinics, participants must have their basic knitting skills, which include casting on, knitting, purling and binding off. For the Socks on Circulars clinic, participants must already possess sock knitting skills.               Finishing II Are you unsatisfied with your buttonhole making or picking up stitches?  This clinic focuses on making one-row self-reinforced buttonholes and picking up stitches evenly.  Bring smooth, solid-colored yarn and appropriate needles.       3/6                  ___________________________________________________________________ Basic Oops      Learn how to make corrections to your knitting without ripping it off the needles.  We will cover "tinking", dropping stitches and picking them back up, and more.  Bring smooth, solid-colored yarn, appropriate needles, and a crochet hook.        3/27                            ______________________________________________________________________ Cables   Cable stitching is the process of crossing one stitch over another. This pattern can look challenging at first, but practicing the basic techniques will demystify this stitch. Cable stitching takes one beyond more basic moves to create more interesting designs.        3/13                       ________________________________________________________________________
