Y2Knit had some anxiety around our fall events--our Weekends near
Washington, DC and LA coincided with Hurricane Isabel and raging wildfires.
While this certainly increases anxiety around event logistics, it's also a
reminder of how wonderful a getaway is, especially when combined with
knitting, the great stress reliever.
We're thankful that the events were not interrupted by any of these
disasters and hope that none of you were affected with loss of property. We
can report that a wonderful time was had by all those able to attend! We
wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving time!
2004 Knitting Getaway Weekends
Immerse yourself in knitting and enjoy the company of other knitting
enthusiasts... - participate in knitting workshops - experiment with yarns
and techniques - enjoy fabulous food, yoga and massage - find inspiration
and renewal in a relaxing environment
Weekends in 2004 will revolve around Slip Stitches and Color, starting
with a Friday refresher/starter on slip stitches and circular knitting and
an afternoon class for learning Continental knitting. Weekend workshops
include 2- and 3-color pattern slip stitches, and shaping with slip stitches
(in the round, short rows and in pattern). These weekends will be "all about
slip stitches" with classes, samplers, projects and assistance on techniques
offered throughout.
