Summer in Knitsville
| Hey Knitters! I didn't send an email newsletter out last month, and I think it was like breaking a chain letter. So this month I'm NOT going to let that happen again! Besides, I pay for 5,000 email, so I'd better send them out. You'll notice I've cut down my teaching appreciably - circumstances compel me to limit the amount of time I'm away from home each month. But I'm trying to make the most of my time when I'm away teaching. |

| OREGON Portland was everything I'd hoped! The shops where I taught, the kind-hearted and quick-witted students, the beer - it was a delight! So delightful, in fact, that I'll be returning to the Rose City in September for classes at TKGA's Fall Knit & Crochet Show. Thanks to Abundant Yarns and Knit Purl for hosting me! I'll also be at a few yarn shops in the area for lectures and a book signing (and maybe even a class!) so stay tuned! |

| MISSOURI I taught at The Studio in Kansas City in May - it was a lovely spot, a little warm (well, I'm used to Minnesota...) but the Plaza shopping area was amazing! |

| SUMMER June In June I'll be at TNNA - not teaching - but wo-manning a booth along with sister independent designers, trying to get our new endeavor, The Stitch Cooperative, off the ground. Although I sell a lot of patterns at my website, and some of my patterns are carried through yarn companies, I haven't wholesaled my patterns directly to yarn shops. The Stitch Cooperative may be the vehicle to allow small independent designers to easily wholesale to yarn shops. If you'll be at TNNA, stop by booth 1056 (10 years before the battle of Hastings) to check us out! |

Also in June I'll be teaching at the Purljam Knitting Retreat, hosted by Mosaic Yarn Shop
in Blacksburg, VA. I love to visit VA (family roots and all that)
plus it's such a beautiful part of the country with very beautiful
and friendly people. I'm eagerly anticipating this fun weekend! July In July I'l be in Michigan, where I love to teach. This time I'll be in Ludington at Nautical Yarns. I'm looking forward to the classes, but also to the ferry ride from Wisconsin! I'm such a 4-year old... |

| August No teaching - family stuff! September Back to Portland for TKGA and some classes in the area. So far I've scheduled some at Unraveled Fine Yarns in Vancouver, WA and I may have some other venues scheduled in the near future. Stay tuned! |
