I type this from my bed, where I am isolating after catching a pretty bad cold that we are pretty sure isn’t COVID. I hoped to have this stuff out before everyone was inundated with Black Friday emails but I was too sick to get it done. Now that that bizarre “holiday” is over, I feel it’s more appropriate for me to post this on “Small Business Saturday” anyway, as I am the smallest of small businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you are probably waiting for — the 2023 workshop listings — are a little later on in this post. If you like, you can jump right there now<\/a>. But you might also want to read on, as there’s an uncommon occurrence you might want to take advantage of.<\/p>\n\n\n

I do not usually do sales on my patterns, but occasionally I take a chance. For the past couple of years, I have managed to miss the deadline to join Ravelry’s Indie Design Gift-A-Long<\/a> — but this year I made it in. This means I’ve got 18 patterns which are discounted by 25% until Nov 28th<\/a>. I am sorry for not giving you more notice of this, but see above about illness. I did mention it was coming up in my last blog post. But more importantly, I am only one of a couple of hundred independent designers with patterns on sale, and I highly recommend you check out the others as well<\/a>. For example, one of my friends and a designer of stunning lace shawls, Anna Dalvi<\/a>, is also participating (and I will more than likely be buying some of her patterns at least). For more info, visit the Indie Gift-A-Long<\/a> group on Ravelry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Workshops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have been, as I’ve mentioned already, going absolutely nuts trying to get my ducks in a row to get the new slate of BuildingBlox workshops<\/a> out and ready so you can sign up for them. They’re finally up, and you can get all the details on my Workshops page<\/a> (for workshop descriptions and more info in general), my BuildingBlox page<\/a> (for info on my virtual workshop series), and my Recordings page<\/a> (for a listing of all recordings that are scheduled\/available). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also have another set of virtual workshops I’ll be teaching for Maryland Sheep & Wool’s Virtual Winterfest<\/a> in late January; these are listed on my main calendar<\/a> along with all of the other events I’ll be teaching. Nota Bene:<\/em> these are all in a two-hour virtual workshop format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other workshops including the live ones I’ll be doing for Vogue Knitting Live and Red Alder in February 2023 are also listed on my calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under normal circumstances I would post links to all of my workshops here in the blog post but I am exhausted enough from all the work I’ve done today and it’s already getting dark. I hope you’ll forgive me and just click through to get where you need\/want to be! I’ll be posting more about all of these workshops in the near future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
