If you follow me on Instagram or in my Ravelry group, you may have seen me trying to gauge interest in a knitting weekend in NYC this June... 
Well, I�m pleased to announce that this little event has come together! 

That's Kirsten's gorgeous Fort Tyron Wrap, knit in mYak's lovely yarn...
Easily accessible by public transit in Manhattan, in a lovely space in the West Village, Paola of mYak yarns has created a summer knitting weekend with Kirsten Kapur and myself!!  We have classes, a cocktail party on Saturday night (with a drink Kirsten and I have yet to create...), and knitting and tea afternoon on Sunday. Kirsten and I will bring samples for a double trunk show, and Paola has a mYak yarn showroom, just in case the urge for more yarn hits. The space is beautiful and has a lovely patio if weather permits..
Instead of an expensive weekend retreat, we wanted to offer something with a lower price point and an  a-la-carte menu, so that it would be inclusive of people at all budget levels and time constraints.
This way, you can pop in for the amount of time you want to, instead of being away for a whole weekend, and if cash is a concern, you can pop in for one event instead of the whole thing - or there�s even a free knitting afternoon that we are hoping could be an option for knitters who might not be able to work an event otherwise.  All the details are on the Eventbrite page!
The schedule is as follows:
Saturday:
10AM-1PM Cable Workshop Class with me
2PM-5PM Color Workshop Class with Kirsten
6:30PM - Cocktail party and trunk show with Kirsten, Paola, and myself. The mYak showroom will also be open! 
Appetizers and drinks included.
Sunday:
10AM - 1PM - Design Workshop Class with me
2:30-5PM - Tea and Knitting afternoon with Kirsten, Paola, and myself.
Classes are $78 each, Tickets to the Saturday night event are $25, and Tickets to Sunday afternoon knitting are FREE.
For all events, we have limited space, and we will fill up on a first-come-first-served basis.
You can sign up for as little or as much of it as you like HERE
Hope to see you there!  xo

Is it Spring YET??

I know it's April, but after driving home in a snowstorm 2 days ago and reaching for my WINTER coat every morning still, I really just need a pick me up. Something to liven up my winter coat and look just as good with my jean jacket in a week or two.   I pulled out some lovely pale pink Solstice yarn from my friend Dami of Magpie Fibers and a lace pattern I'd been wanting to play with and designed a hat to perk me up for these last few weeks!  Venetian Cup Right?  And I liked it so much I knit another, in mYak Medium... I honestly love this pattern so much in both yarns!  And because I don't have to choose, I've included both yarns in the pattern notes on Ravelry.  As a little incentive, the Ravelry code "Venetian" will get you $1 off the pattern until 4/14/19.   All the info is up on the Ravelry page, plus the test knits .   And if you are wondering what a Venetian cup is, it sounds pretty delicious! Campari, Pimm's, and Ginger beer - r...
