2017 Workshop Schedule
Monday 12th September 2016
This is shaping up nicely.
First, I am repeating Steeking and the knitting of the Bee Blanket and Cushion, probably in April or May as the new date (February 2017) is also already full.
Contact me to ensure a place, I think at the moment I have four places not filled, subject to dates.
I am also repeating the New Moebius event which is happning first this November. I am happy to take a mix of those who can knit a Moebius (refresher given anyway) and anyone who has not done this as I can teach one group and Kath the other.
Let me know if you fancy this.
Then the rest of the year so far is looking like:
- New Fairisle in the round (a cowl, not steeked).
- New Fairisle in the round for steeking (throw and cushion).
- Kidsilk Haze Day: brand new designs for this heavenly yarn, ranging from 2 – 6 balls, and from easy to slightly more technical. Great for anyone who hasn’t yet ventured into this magical land with me, and for devotees alike.
- Textured Knits: combining beading, cables and textured stitches.
- Brioche Knitting in Two Colours: an introduction. Your entry-level event, but we’re going straight in with two shades because that is really half the point of this amazing and cool stitch.
- Brioche Knitting in Two Colours in The Round. Your ‘moving on’ event!
- Christmas Gifts.
- Christmas at Court Cottage. If, that is, there are still some little decorations I can design and pass on!
Now one or maybe two of these may not make the final cut or might get bumped forward. But I think most of this will be on your menu for 2017.
I do get asked if the courses are only put onto the site once they are full. No, but I do operate am email alert system which means that those people know about them straight away. You probably know if you are on it as I also use this list to tell folks about last-minute cancellations, but if you think you want to be on it, please
let me know.
I am hoping to get the main batch of courses for 2017 live in October.
The Afternoon Tea Club will not be back in 2017. They have all been busy but having them before a workshop, which was the idea – and a very good one – is just too hectic for me. However, I plan some (probably two) get-togethers for a full afternoon of knitting with tea and cakes, which I will charge for and then donate the fees less my costs to Macmillan Cancer Care, a charity very dear to my heart. I think I will hold one in the summer and one really festive one in early December.
Hope to see you here for some knitting next year. Everyone is very welcome.
A place on the cracksilk haze course please, please, please.
