Yarn-Bombing Class This Saturday

There is still space available for the last class on crocheting and knitting for Spring Into Yarn, the March 31st yarn-bombing event that will bring colorful creations to the city's streets.

The free class will be this Saturday, March 17, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at , located at 17 College Street. Light refreshments will be available.

Learn how to crochet and knit, in addition to seeing a live demo on exactly how to yarn bomb. Beginners and experts on knitting and crocheting are welcome. Participants who attended the first workshop are also welcome to bring their finished work and supplies to make more crafts.

The class will also venture throughout historic downtown to scope out different areas to "bomb" for the Spring Into Yarn event March 31. If you already know of a lamp post, bike rack or tree where you want to show off your creations, reserve your spot with Arlene Beckles at apbeckles@yahoo.com.

The artwork will be displayed downtown throughout the entire month of April.

To reserve a space at the workshop, contact Taylor Covert of Home Norcross at home.norx@gmail.com or call 770-416-0029. For those interested in participating in yarn bombing the town but can't make the March 17th class, contact Arlene Beckles at apbeckles@yahoo.com.
