Knitting was invented to turn the tumbling balls of yarn that littered the badlands habitat of early man into a soft, warm blanket for man's first pet rock. Create something cozy with today's Groupon: for $20, you get a sewing, knitting, or crochet 101 class at Craft Happy in Summerville (up to a $46 value).

Situated in a historic downtown building, Craft Happy spawns group creativity with weekly sewing, knitting, and crochet classes and parties, scheduled on weekends and weekday mornings. Join likeminded scarf sorcerers and mitten magicians in the craft lounge—a relaxed, imagination-stimulating environment equipped with sewing machines and tools—to share projects and ideas.

Small, five-person classes enable one-on-one interaction with Craft Happy’s experienced staff members. At the end of the class session, each student can take home a finished product, be it crocheted cotton dishtowel (valued at $32), a knitted washcloth (valued at $34), or a sewed clutch purse just big enough to hold a collection of vintage lottery tickets (valued at $46). All supplies, such as sewing machines and knitting needles, are included.
