(Ok, it's true, I may also just be excited about the concept of spring.)
These events are two major highlights of my knitting year: The Toronto Downtown Knit Collective Knitter's Frolic, held at the always lovely Japanese Cultural Centre in Toronto, April 26 & 27th.
and
Interweave's Knitting Lab being held in Manchester, New Hampshire May 13-18th.
Both of these events bring together my favourite things: yarn shopping and smart and enthusiastic knitting students. Seriously, the quality of the shopping, the classes and the students is always fantastic.
At the Frolic, I'm teaching
- Pattern Writing
- Kitchener Confidence
- Working in the Round: DPNs, Magic Loop, 2 Circulars
- And a full-day Introduction to Fair Isle workshop - Design Your Own Fair Isle Fingerless mitts. This workshop in particular is ideal for knitters who are new(ish) to working with multiple colours, and are looking for a fun way to build their skills and dip their toes into designing.

At Knitting Lab, I'm teaching
- The Perfect Fit: How to read & understand garment sizing info, how to choose the right size to knit, and simpler alterations to improve the fit of any garment
- Fixing Mistakes

- Custom Fit Socks
