Over the weekend I had the honor of teaching beaded lace at The Loopy Ewe Spring Fling and oh my, what a wonderful weekend! The flingers are legendary and I have to admit I was a bit nervous heading out there all on my own. Of course as soon as I got there my fears dissolved... will I ever learn that there is absolutely no reason to be nervous around knitters?

| Private shopping session at The Loopy Ewe... I did a little damage and left a few things behind I am pining after! You can see Sheri heading to grab some yarn for a project she was itching to cast on for... love that! |

The Teachers: Kirsten Kapur, myself, Anne Hanson, and JC Briar
Wishing we had Sheri in this pic with us! One of the parts I love about teaching at events like this is the time spent with other designers, Anne, JC, Kirsten and myself had some wonderful talks that really got me thinking (even more than usual)! |

p.m. Beaded cuff class
I had a fantastic time in this class. I only took the class because it was the only one that I had not taken. But now I am converted to knitting with beads.
ReplyDeleteLaura you are a fantastic instructor and very organized. You have a fantastic grasp of changing the way you explain to meet the need of the students. As we all know not everyone speaks/understands the same.
Congratulation on a successful Spring Fling!
It was so nice meeting you and having dinner with you!
ReplyDeleteLoved my entomology with you. Got my new smaller beads to recast on. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou totally scored with the green Wollmeise! Awesome colour.
