Here’s to a new year and new knits!
This year I’m continuing my work with Get Stitchin’ in Tulsa, OK and offering in-person hand and machine knitting classes at their 61st and Memorial location.
As before, to sign up for a class, you’ll need to visit their Events and Classes page. If you’d like to take one of my classes but the date or time doesn’t fit into your schedule or it’s sold out, please contact me and we can figure out something that will work!
Take a look at my Google Calendar to find out where I’ll be regarding craft shows, classes, and other events. For classes, please refer to the Get Stitchin’ page for availability–classes on my Google Calendar don’t reflect the official sign-up page and the number of class slots available.
Winter Knit-A-Long
I’m hosting my first hand knitting knit-a-long at Get Stitchin’! Now that my hand and wrist have been snipped and snapped back into shape, I’m ready to go!
After a busy holiday knitting season, are you ready to make something for yourself?
Wednesdays this winter we’ll be knitting the Festival of Stitches KAL by Lisa Hannes.
From the Event Listing
“Festival of Stitches” is a fun & playful project that will keep you engaged from start to finish! Different sections make it addictive and knit up quickly. The finished item will add a wonderful highlight to your daily wardrobe with a shape that is versatile and easy to wear.
This pattern was designed by Lisa Hannes and has lots of fun colorwork. The colorwork design uses easy slipped stitches and color blocking, and we will be here to help you work through this shawl. There are also some cables, eyelets, and stripes, but no super complicated techniques are used in this pattern.
Get Stitchin’ suggests the new Berroco Vintage Sock yarn and will help you print the pattern in-store when you purchase it through them.
This event is FREE, but please sign up on the event page to let us know you’re joining!
(Well, you also have to purchase your materials.)
I have to confess, I already started! Head over to my Instagram to see my spoiler.
Spring 2023 Machine Knitting Seminar
It’s never too early to plan for our Spring Machine Knitting Seminar!
Our first one last October was wonderful, and we think this spring will be just as amazing or better!
Pamela Carrico of CMO Designer Knits is returning as our presenter on Saturday, April 8, 2023.
I’ve teased a bit of our topic in the past, so here’s more:
How can you use a body block to make custom knits?

You can find my work along with the handmade art of many other Eastern Oklahoma artists in-store at Get Stitchin’.
In addition to beautiful yarns, Get Stitchin’ stocks many handmade pieces by local artists from yarn bowls and drop spindles to project bags and hand-dyed fiber.
You can support local artists and small businesses all in one place.
That’s all for January
…but there’s much more in the works.
Keep an eye on the site and I’ll keep you in the loop! Be on the lookout for craft show announcements and new free patterns.
Here’s to 2023 being the best it can be!
