Early registration will close May 8th (after that you can register on the WISW site starting May 15th if space is left).

Additionally, knitters should be comfortable with working and visualizing short row shaping; in this case, German Short Rows will be worked

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival is offering MKG members a chance to register for classes before they open to the general public. This is a huge member benefit since classes sell out quickly at the festival site.
- There is not a discount for the classes, it is early registration only!
- You can only register early via the MKG website, and you must be a MKG member to do so.
- You will NOT pay for your class via MKG. Once you register, you will receive an invoice from Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival, and you will pay them directly.
- Payment must be made to the Festival no later than May 10 or you will be dropped from the class.
