Historically, I&#8217;ve noticed that most people aren&#8217;t interested in learning new techniques in the Fall when they&#8217;re working toward holiday projects, so workshops that would sell out in the Spring struggle to fill in the Fall. This year I&#8217;m taking a new tack &#8212; I&#8217;m running bigger workshops at bigger events, cramming a whole season&#8217;s worth of teaching into a few weekends. We&#8217;ll see how it goes! I&#8217;ve also got some other cool news. I&#8217;ll try to keep it brief though, since I know attention spans aren&#8217;t what they used to be (squirrel!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.interweaveknittinglab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Interweave Knitting Labs<\/a>: I&#8217;m teaching my entire repertoire of workshops at both Labs, one in Manchester, NH next weekend, and the other in San Mateo, CA a month later. While in Manchester, fellow Guild member Stephanie from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dirtywaterdyeworks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dirty Water Dyeworks<\/a> has graciously agreed to field sales of my books in her booth there! In San Mateo, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bijoubasinranch.com\/BBR_Home.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Bijou Basin Ranch<\/a> will sell them as usual. Thanks to both of you!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sheepandwool.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rhinebeck<\/a>: I&#8217;ll be doing a day-trip on Saturday, Oct 20 from Boston with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eliotschool.org\/classes\/sheep-wool-festival\" target=\"_blank\">Eliot School<\/a> in JP &#8212; so I&#8217;ll be there at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cooperativepress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cooperative Press<\/a> booth to sign books and generally shmooze. More definite schedule TBA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A Guild-tastic weekend: On Friday, November 9th, I&#8217;ll be presenting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.galezucker.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gale Zucker<\/a> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.commoncod.com\" target=\"_blank\">Common Cod Fiber Guild<\/a> here in Cambridge, then leaving town to present at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kwknittersguild.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kitchener-Waterloo Knitters&#8217; Guild<\/a> in Ontario. On the way, I&#8217;ll be teaching at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allstrungoutyarns.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">All Strung Out<\/a> in Guelph, Ontario. I thought I might be able to make a meaningful layover in Chicago but it appears I&#8217;ll just be hanging out at the airport.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Finally, on the weekend after Thanksgiving, I&#8217;ll be heading out to Denver to do a shoot at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.craftsy.com\" target=\"_blank\">Craftsy<\/a> HQ, so I&#8217;ll finally be able to teach double-knitting to people in all corners of the world I wouldn&#8217;t normally be able to reach. I&#8217;m working on a couple of new patterns for this, and I guess it&#8217;d be OK if I showed a photo of one in progress here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Cowl-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"434\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/?attachment_id=434\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Cowl-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C413&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,413\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NEX-5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1348494906&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;16&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;SONY DSC&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Cowl 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Cowl-2.jpg?fit=300%2C120&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Cowl-2.jpg?fit=660%2C266&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-434\" title=\"Cowl 2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Cowl-2.jpg?w=500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Cowl-2.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Cowl-2.jpg?resize=300%2C120&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Cowl-2.jpg?resize=150%2C60&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;ve got some other kind of awesome news but I&#8217;m going to keep it under my hat until it solidifies a little bit.
