That time again

In the past few weeks I haven’t been doing any teaching. (With good reason! Who wants to take a knitting class during the holiday season?) But that doesn’t mean I’ve been twiddling my thumbs. December is prime time for teachers like myself and event organizers to get together and plan the coming year. The result? These new gigs have just been added to my schedule:

• Fans of the Loopy Ewe’s Spring Fling have probably already heard that I’ll be teaching there in April, along with Anne Hansen, Kirsten Kapur, and Laura Nelkin. I’m looking forward to it: with a Dessert Reception and multiple knitting lounges, how can it not be fun?
• Black Sheep Gathering! Ah, the fiber festival that’s in my backyard… well, less than an hour from my backyard, anyway. I love so much about it: catching up with friends; prowling the vendor floor; visiting the alpacas, bunnies, goats, and sheep in the animal barns; and listening in on the fleece judging. (Even though I don’t spin! The fleece judging is that educational.)
• This year’s TKGA/CGOA Fall Knit & Crochet Show will be in Greensboro, NC. I haven’t spent any time in North Carolina, and I don’t associate it with “the South,” but maybe I’m wrong: while making hotel reservations a little bit ago, I spoke with a woman with the sweetest Southern drawl. Will we get the full Southern hospitality treatment? Complete with sweet iced tea?

More events are in the works! My complete schedule, as always, is here. To find out when sign-ups begin for an event, visit that event’s website or contact its organizers.
