Extension 2 Sweater Class

Hi. This is the second extension class. Georgia and Ans modeled their sweaters this evening; they are beautiful and fit well. Next week will be the last extension class. The new class starting Feb. 1 is already full; however, Linda might consider a second class since there are many on the waiting list. Let's hope so.
