Come Labor Day, whether or not you actually buy pens, notebooks and backpacks
and go
to a real school, that feeling that you should be starting life afresh and learning
something
new is all but inevitable. If, for example, you were feeling a yen for doing something
creative
with your hands, such as knitting -

, you would be far from alone. According to statistics from the Craft Yarn Council of
America,
knitting is such a hot hobby that Americans spent an estimated $450 million last year
on yarn,
needles and knitting paraphernalia. In the Washington area alone, two new stores --
Knit Happens
- http://letters.washingtonpost.com/W8RT044E452362949E17F3F5F2B500
and Stitch DC - http://letters.washingtonpost.com/W8RT044E457312949E17F3F5F2B500
offering instruction and supplies -- have opened in the past year or so. In addition,
the
Smithsonian's Resident Associates program offers "Knitting for Beginners," starting
Oct. 15,
and "Join a Knitting Circle," starting Oct. 16. If just thinking about knitting
and yarn
makes you yawn, other opportunities to learn a new hobby or hone your existing skills
are plentiful
in the Washington area. The range of classes -

includes everything from plumbing and repairing small engines to faux finishing and
stenciling
walls. You can learn how to garden -
http://letters.washingtonpost.com/W8RT044E4543D2949E17F3F5F2B500
in small spaces, construct a stone wall, refinish furniture, grow figs or make basil
mayonnaise,
to name just a few of the many possibilities. If you're interested in cooking up a
brand-new
menu of culinary choices, sink your teeth into this list of area cooking -

classes, offering 169 ways to heat up the action in the kitchen. Should you have any
doubts
about the wisdom of taking up a new hobby, take it from the Greek playwright
Aeschylus, "Learning
is ever in the freshness of its youth, even for the old."

exceptions,
they looked neither crisp nor stylish.
