Baby, You've Got Class(es)
Thing One: For my intrepid Stranded With Mary adventurers, I have an update: The first of our five sessions for the second group starts on May 23! The deadline for ordering your yarn kit for the exclusive Victoriana sweater (offered in FOUR colorways!) is May 15. If you’d like to join us for some serious concierge knitting, do keep that in mind. The yarns for your kits are being custom-dyed just for you, so there’s a bit of lead time required for our yarn artist. I can’t wait to share this workshop with you - I learned so much from the first group and I think I can say with confidence that you’ll be wowed by the experience. The information I’m sharing will serve you in all your other steeked colowork endeavors, going forward. To register, click HERE.

Thing 2: Also happening on May 15 is my fun and famous Selbuvotter class, hosted by For Yarns Sake, where we explore the tradition and mysteries of traditional Norwegian mittens. In addition to the class, you’ll also receive a kit containing my Nordica pattern and the authentic Norwegian yarn preferred for these very special mittens. Come and join us for all the mitten-ey goodness! Register HERE
The unique construction of Selbuvotter is both elegant and delightfully comfortable.
Thing 3: On May 16, I’ll be teaching the inaugural session of my newest class, “Feeling Edgy”! This is a unique offering for me, because it’s entirely technique-based. You’ll be watching my hands and knitting along with me as I demonstrate three different edging techniques you might not have tried before: The Knitted Hem, Latvian Braid, and most exciting, a technique I’ve never seen taught anywhere else: The Two-Sided Pickup for Bands. There’s a teesy bit of easy homework for this one, so don’t dilly-dally if you’re planning to join in. I can’t wait to see which of you join me for this maiden voyage! Register HERE
One of about a million ways to use knitted hems
Latvian Braid is a showstopper, wherever it goes.
Need to bind a cut steek edge, then continue knitting away from it (collars, hoods, plackets)…? This is one BOSS trick!
Being with you online, Gentle Readers, is the balm for my soul. At a time when we need each other’s company more than ever, technology has come through for us. Come and join in the fun, won’t you?
