Holy cats, it’s almost September! My favorite month: birthday, anniversary, back to school, back to knitting classes.
I’m teaching on the Vogue Knitting Alaska Cruise September 2-9; I’m teaching Brioche Pastiche, hat or cowl. Ana Campos is also teaching on the cruise; she’s teaching Portuguese knitting. I’m looking forward to this! I haven’t been to Alaska since I was working in a cannery on Kodiak Island to pay for college.
I’m teaching a Zoom class on stranded colorwork for For Yarn’s Sake using the Shetland Wool Week Buggiflooer Beanie as a jumping off point. I have the feeling that I’m going to go rogue with my sample and knit a cowl instead; I haven’t worn any of the previous beanies (they mess up my hair!).
We’ll talk about yarn color dominance, ways to manage your yarns, and more.
I’m teaching Petite Brioche on Saturday September 30 in a new venue! I’ll be in-person at Hook and Needle, a new shop in downtown Vancouver WA, right across the river. Register here.
I’m teaching at Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival October 13 and 14. Come learn assigned color pooling, and entrelac with me!
I’m teaching a Thrill of the Thrum Zoom class for For Yarn’s Sake on October 22. These deliciously cushy slippers are a longtime favorite.
Virtual Vogue Knitting Live is the weekend of October 27. I’m teaching Brioche Pastiche, Slip Away Cowl (slip stitch knitting), and Syncopation (syncopated brioche). And I’m giving a lecture on blocking, too. Come knit with us, virtually! Registration isn’t open yet (there’s a virtual event at the end of September currently on the site), but you can sign up for their newsletter and you’ll be the first to know when classes are available.
I’m teaching assigned pooling via Zoom with my Starfall Cowl for For Yarn’s Sake on November 12.
And that’s the plan so far! Are you planning your fall knitting experiences? It’s time!

You’ve got some exciting classes and events planned! Where all is the cruise going in Alaska?
We’re stopping
When you do “go rogue” and knit a cowl I hope you will create a pattern to share. Beanies and hats mess up my hair, too. I love how my Pastiche Brioche looks but not the way my hair looks after I take it off!
I’ll definitely describe wh
Hi Michelle! I’ve been eyeballing the Star Fall cowl and thinking it looks like fun to knit. I’ve never signed up for a Zoom class before so had a question about that.
My computer does not have a mic or camera installed, so I wondered if I could still participate in the class? I do have a smart phone but would be blind or crazy by the time the class was over trying to watch and knit on a 6″ screen.
Will you be teaching the color strand cowl again? I missed it and really want to take it 🙂
Do you mean the stranded colorwork class (Buggiflooer Cowl) or the Slip Away Cowl (slip stitch colorwork)? The Slip Away Cowl class will be
