Description: Sharing learning expands knowledge exponentially. We will meet nine times between January and December 2025 to discuss each lesson in this year’s On-Line Guild offering. Videos will be watched at home and weaving will be done on your own. It is your responsibility to watch the video prior to class so you can engage in the conversation. This group provides you with the discipline to make the most of your JST Weaving School membership. This is the ninth year of approaching the video lessons from a group perspective. Those that have participated agree that it adds value to the experience. An email with instructions and Zoom link will be sent about a week prior to the first class.
Required: You must show proof of payment to the On-Line Guild to participate.
Prerequisite: All skill levels welcome.
Pre-Class Prep: Prior to the first meeting, forward photos of your recent projects. Prior to each Zoom class students are responsible to email photos of their projects — both finished and those on the loom — and be prepared to tell their story.
Facilitator: Joan Sheridan
Maximum: 20 participants

Miniature Acorn Lanterns - Make & Take, 1 of 1
2025-11-01 14:00 - 16:00 | Heritage Spinning & Weaving, 47 E. Flint ST, Lake Orion, MI, 48362, United States
Day/Date/Time: Saturday, 11/1/2025, from 2:00 – 4:00 pm. This Make & Take session meets once.
Description: Make these adorable 1” lighted acorn lanterns in this 2-hour Make & Take session. You will receive a kit with everything you need to make 2 acorn lanterns, and special instruction for creating the acorn “stem” that will turn the lantern on and off. These little acorns can be made easily into earrings to wear for the fall season or set with miniatures for a display.
Required Supplies/Equipment/Books: The kit you receive will include all the yarn to make 2 acorns, stuffing, 2 small lights and notes on how to make these adorable acorns. (These notes are not in the free pattern download and are only available in the kits.) Extra kits will be available for purchase.
You will need a set of US size #1 double pointed needles or a US size #1 circular needle for magic loop. I recommend DPNs over magic loop, but it is up to the knitter to decide. The acorns can also be knit flat and seamed if you prefer. If you need to purchase needles let us know when you register and we will set them aside for you. Other supplies required include a darning needle, scissors, stitch markers and a magnifying glass if needed.
The free pattern is available on Ravelry at this link: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/acorn-and-pumpkin-lantern. Before coming to class, please download and print the pattern or have the digital pattern downloaded on your device to access during class.
Prerequisite: You will need to be able to knit and purl in the round on DP/magic loop or knit and purl flat on small needles.
Pre-Class Prep: Download the free pattern from Ravelry.
