Spring Midwest Masters Registration Open
Three days of classes, shopping, and fun - April 23-25, 2010! The schedule is posted now. JUST ADDED (as of Jan. 7): FOUR MORE CLASSES! Judith Swartz is joining us and leading classes in Tapestry Crochet, Scrumbling, knitting for your canine friend (Dogs in Knits) and what every knitter needs to know about crochet.
 
We have posted brief bios of all the teachers, A.Karen Alfke, Ann Budd, M'Lou Baber, Susanna Hansson, Judith Swartz and Amy Tyler. Homework and supply lists are also posted now.
 
For something different this year, we have several in-depth classes. The teachers requested longer class times because they want to be able to share more information and spend more time teaching these techniques. For class attendees, this sounds like a good idea. It's an opportunity to work on projects in the class and really absorb the experience of these talented teachers.We think this is a unique opportunity that you won't find at other knitting events. See you in April!
 
Weaving Workshop
