The DFW Fiber Fest begins this coming Friday, in Addison, Texas (near Dallas). The market promises to be very good, and the workshops, too. I’m looking forward to both. The Fashion Show on Friday night should be fun. I’m still trying to decide what to show.
I have been gathering class samples and putting finishing touches on my handouts. This little sample turned out great. It’s a cable done in intarsia for my intarsia workshop. Here’s my class schedule. You can probably still sign up if you are going to be near Dallas at the time:
- Friday morning, April 28: Crochet Flowers and Leaves
- Saturday afternoon, April 29: Polymer Clay Button-Making
- Sunday morning, April 30: Intarsia from Beginning to End
Color changes on the cable-turning row are a challenge, but worth it, I think. Still, I wouldn’t want to do this sort of work if I had to do cable turns every other row. But I know better than to say “never.” Sometimes you just have to do the work to get the look you want. Can you tell I like to dip into my yarn collection?
In other workshop news, there’s still time to sign up for workshops at the Iwannaknit ReTreat, June 2-4, in Indiana. This is a relaxing and creative event for hand- and hobby machine-knitters. There’s plenty of time to shop at Lea-Ann McGregor’s shop, Knitting Today.
