In-Person Galore:
The Spinning Room
On April 12 and 13, I’ll be hitting up The Spinning Room in Altamont, NY for a whirlwind of lectures and classes. From tales of gauge tradgeties to a cornucopia of cool color techniques, we’re diving deep into the world of fiber arts, and you’re invited!
NOTE: The classes are sold out, but there’s still space in the April 12 Event.

Mark your calendars for May 17 and 18 because I’ll be making a stop at Harrisville Designs in New Hampshire. I LOVED teaching at this amazing place. If you’ve never been, seriously, treat yourself. Join us for:
May 17: Secrets of Spectacular Sweater Success
May 18: The Long and The Short of it: Comparing Short Rows
May 18: Advanced Knitting Fixes
I guarantee, it’s going to be a spring weekend to remember!
Danube River Cruise: Christmas Market Knit Retreat 2025
This one is HUGE!! From Nov 29–Dec 6, 2025, you can take an amazing holiday knitting cruise from Nuremberg, Germany to Budapest, Hungary. (Yes, you read that right.) In addition to the knitting and crocheting experiences aboard the ship, you’ll stroll down cobblestone streets, venture through historic towns adorned with twinkling Christmas lights, and explore iconic Christmas markets. A truly once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the Christmas markets along the Danube. Incredible, right?
The Danube River Cruise is already 60% full, so make those reservations ASAP.
Take the plunge!
