>>For all of those who have signed up, there is indeed some homework to do.
>>In order to get right to the intarsia portion of our class, you need to 
>>get
>>the back of your bags knit up to the point where we will start the tree.
>>
>>
>>
>>I am attaching the pattern for the bag up to the point where we will begin
>>the tree.  If you know how, it might be advantageous to install a 
>>life-line
>>around row 50.  If you find it necessary to start over, I don't want you 
>>to
>>have to go all the way back to the beginning.  I don't know your comfort
>>level with taking your work off your needles and ripping back and then
>>re-inserting the needle into your work.  A life-line would be prudent, and
>>hopefully you won't need it!
>>
>>
>>
>>Also, you will need a minimum of two bobbins.  These bobbins can be store
>>bought bobbins, but a card or baggie will work just fine.  Make two 
>>bobbins:
>>
>>
>>
>>1 bobbin in your bag color (MC).  This bobbin should be made with
>>approximately 7.5 to 8 yards of yarn
>>
>>1 bobbin for the tree color (CC) should be made with 9 to 9.5 yards of 
>>yarn
>>
>>
>>
>>Very important - you need to be able to distinguish which bobbin is the MC
>>bobbin and which bobbin is the CC bobbin.  We will just continue to use 
>>the
>>skein for the third bobbin.  You  could use paper clips on the tree 
>>bobbin,
>>or make one bobbin on a card and one in a baggie.  However it works best 
>>for
>>you.  You will want to be able to keep the yarn secured and easily 
>>released
>>a little at a time as needed.
>>
>>
>>
>>If you do not feel comfortable jumping right into the intarsia,, just cast
>>on 25 sts and knit a few rows in stockinette  stitch.  You can then 
>>practice
>>the intarsia technique   on this until you feel confident enough to work 
>>on
>>your bag.  Either way, please have the back of your bag done and ready to
>>go.
>>
>>
>>
>>These bags work up quickly, so I am confident that you will be able to 
>>knit
>>a few for Christmas this year.

>>If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
