2024 Classes, Events and Field Trips!

I am planning my calendar for 2024 and getting excited for a busy year ahead so I thought I’d share what’s coming up. Finding anticipation in the knitting world provides me with both distraction and focus in this frantic, hurtling, unsettled world of ours. The solace of slow and steady stitching never betrays me. I imagine you feel the same escape in your crafting.

I hope you find something on this list to entice you - and look forward to sharing your company somewhere along this yarn way of ours in 2024. Sign ups are OPEN for Learning to Knit Embroidered Flowers and the Topdown Tee Sweater classes. See below for the links.

Stay tuned for updates and feel free to send me any suggestions or thoughts. Perhaps you are especially interested in something coming up and want to stay in the loop? I am happy to keep you posted on a particular activity if you wish.

Fall 2024 (September-November dates coming soon): Yokes

I’m delighted to team teach yoke construction with Elizabeth Doherty of Blue Bee Studio. Can’t attend her class at Squam? Join us in Petaluma!

No one is more meticulous and thoughtful about construction than Elizabeth and her yokes number among the few that truly respect every body. Come and learn the tips and tricks as we knit the gorgeous Squam Sweater together.

Date coming soon: Mitts and Mittens at Fibershead Learning Center

Mittens and Mitts are super opportunities to learn a LOT of things … but small and so practical. They make lovely gifts - and a perfect project for farm yarns in particular.

Thank you as always for your attention and support. I wish you time with your beloveds and with the activities that restore you at the end of this year - and throughout the year ahead. I look forward to spending time with you if we can - and staying in touch either way. Cheers and happy knitting.
