need a minor's waiver?)

thanks!

>Worsted, Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted.  This is an any-ages class, but

>AFTERNOON CLASS - If you are an experienced knitter and want to bring your

>size, and appropriate weight of yarn in at least two or three colours.  You
>will be learning to use dpns and colurwork, both period techniques.  Again,

>If you already have the techniques, learn to use them to reproduce period
