Hey
Folks,
I know it's short notice on these first two items, but I've been remiss
in not getting my newsletter out as early as I'd like!
PURLJAM
I'll
be teaching at this wonderful weekend event in Blacksburg, VA along
with Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton and Jared Flood - and I can't WAIT!
I've
heard amazing things about the shop, the clientele, Purljam, and the
beauty of
this area. I'm already in love with Virginia (family roots
and all
that...) so coming 'home' is always a pleasure! |

that promise!

July - Nautical Yarn
In July I get to travel across Lake Michigan on a Ferry to teach in
Ludington at Nautical Yarns! Arriving late at a class at TNNA
I slipped into the only open seat and found myself next to one of the
kind folks from Nautical Yarns - ironic and very nice! I'm so
looking forward to this engagement (and the ferry ride...) because I love teaching in
Michigan!
In August I'll be taking time off, but I'm back for some busy teaching
in September! |

September
- Portland AGAIN!
How excited am I to be returning to
Portland!!?? I had the BEST time there this Spring, so I'll
be returning to the scene of the crime in September. I'll be
teaching at TKGA, and will have a few other dates lined up while I'm in
town. If you're interested in the TKGA classes I'd sign up
quickly as I've heard they could be selling out sooner than expected!
I know I'll be at Unraveled in Vancouver, WA and I hope to be back at
Knit, Purl (and maybe more places!) I know that I'll have
at least one Rogue Nut Brown Ale while I'm in town, though... |

And
coming in
the Fall...
I'll be teaching in Minnesota in October and November
- hooray!
Fall seems like a long way off, but it's not too early to make plans
for a chance to get away and skip some
stones on a lovely lake between knitting projects! I'll be
teaching at two
knitting retreats to be held at the Medayto Rose
Cottage in Spicer, MN on Oct 17-19 and Nov 14-16.
OCT:
Lace & Cable Basics
In October I'll be teaching some cable tricks, lace tricks (including the Gigi scarf from
Romantic Hand Knits) and a crash course in Combination
Knitting that will allow you to see your stitches in a whole
new way - no matter HOW you knit!
NOV:
Modular Knitting
In November the retreat will be dedicated to Modular / Mitered
knitting, and we'll use the Universal
Mitered Handbag pattern as a vehicle to learn many tips and
tricks to make Mitered Knitting (or
Domino
Knitting, as
Vivian Høxbro calls it) more
enjoyable for anyone, no matter what your skill level.
