Wahoo! I get to go to Banff!! « »

Amy Swenson wrote a few days ago to invite me to teach at her shop(Make One Yarn Studio)’s Fall Fiber Arts Retreat. We had talked about it briefly a few weeks ago, but I didn’t want to say anything until it was for sure for sure.
I am so looking forward to it. Amy and I have been friends since the early days. (Amy’s been blogging as Indigirl since 1996 and I’ve had this blog since 1998.) We started out together, in a way, and it is so cool to be doing a workshop together. I have a really cute picture of me and Amy together at one of the TNNAs, but I can’t find it! If I do, I’ll post it.
Teaching at workshops is my new favorite thing. I love meeting people, especially other knitters. And…I get to talk about knitting and yarn for the whole weekend!
I’ll be teaching:
Anatomy of a Top-Down Sweater
Fitting Your Knits
Converting Flat Patterns to Circular
I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful place for a knitting retreat!!
It’ll be so wintry and cozy there!! ACK.

That’s awesome! I live in Calgary, but with a newborn (even newer than yours) I don’t think I’ll be able to swing a weekend away until he’s a year old. Have fun though — I got married at the hotel where the retreat is being held and it’s really beautiful.
Gah! Congrats! It sounds like a looooot of fun.
Oh, I nowhere close to Calgary, but if you ever make it to Oklahoma, I am there! I would love to go to a class. Good luck.
How EXCITING!!! Very happy for you.
I hope that I can someday take a class from you on those exact classes that you will be teaching there!!!!
Enjoy! and of course please take/post photos.
I thought about going to that retreat a few weeks ago, but decided against it (the cost, the travel, the time off work, etc). You know what? You changed my mind. I blame the map.
See you in November!
My daughter and I will be attending the retreat and we can’t wait! Yehaa - my 2 favorite thIngs to do, knit and talk about knitting for a whole weekend! I got an email from Amy today confirming our registration. We both have been knitting from ‘Fitted Knits’ and love the results!
