Knitting Lessons
Saturday. 23 January
We are offering a special edition of our Knitting workshop this Saturday. For $5, you receive a small quantity of yarn, you make a pair of knitting needles, and our knitters show you the basics. For knitters who are past the complete and utter beginner stage, who have a project they could use a bit of help on, are welcome to bring it in. Marilyn, who says she has lots of experience in making, and correcting, knitting mistakes, can even advise on adjusting your project if it seems to be coming unstitched or missknit.
When the Lesson is over you may take home your partially knit piece, a bit of yarn, and your own knitting needles, to continue knitting later.
Two of our knitters are Marilyn Spearin, docent, above, and Catherine Watts, docent, below.

History is now being made. Ownership of much of Canada's largest city and payment for the land - a debt outstanding since 1787 - is almost resolved after many years of negotiations. Forthcoming details regarding settlement of the Toronto Purchase Land Claim will be made available during the February lectures by Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation at the Tollkeeper's Cottage.
Join us this Wednesday for a lecture, "The History of the New Credit Mississaugas from 1650" by New Credit Land Claims Expert and Historian Margaret Sault, followed by a lecture each of the next 3 weeks by others from the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation.
