Another new niece knitter!

Taught Hannah to knit

Machine knitting felted hats

Two parties next week!

I’m desperately low on my felted caps and I have two big parties coming up. . . so, I thought I’d spread the wealth and hire/teach my niece Hannah to operate a knitting machine. She did very well and is on her way to being very productive. Thank goodness!

Want to learn how to knit cables?

In a few weeks, I’m teaching a cable class for first time cablers at this Knitters’ Retreat .

Isn't this the cutest?!
Learn to knit cables AND this cute purse

I’ll be covering cable techniques and also how to knit an I-cord and cover how to do good looking seams.

I’m also offering a needlefelting workshop and bringing my hats, clutches and scarves. It is sure to be a fun time.

The retreat is in Medina, MN and looks like it will be lots of fun. There is a full menu of morning and afternoon classes, hiking, lunch, dinner, and an evening of knitting! It is so close you can even drive home if you just must sleep in your own bed!

At the site linked above you can download a pdf of all class listings and photos.

To see more photos of what others have done at my needlefelting workshops, check out “needlefelting” under my categories pull down menu.

If you live in MN, hope you can make it to this retreat!

Some great items were decorated at this party on Saturday, March 15th.

The beautiful colors and designs that come out of inexperienced needlefelters is AMAZING.

Geez, I love this job!
