California

Friends out West, here I come! Next month, I’m doing a quick mini teaching tour in CA and attending Stitches West.  I’m so excited for this opportunity. I’m a little nervous being away from my family for over a week, but since I will be busy most every moment with nothing but fun, I am sure it will fly by. I can’t wait to visit the 3 yarn shops on my schedule and also to be able to hang out at the Never Not Knitting and YOTH booths at Stitches to meet some knitters for the first time. I wanted to share my expedition plans and give you some links so that you can sign up to take classes :)

You can read full details about all these classes on my Course Page. I’ve been teaching for a surprisingly many years…going all the way back to grad school and some students who had me as a graduate TA in a variety of political science courses.  Classes are such a great way to extend your knitting skills with someone there, literally, holding your hand. Nothing can take the place of your local yarn shop when it comes to getting regular opportunities for classes, so take advantage of them and support your LYS at the same time. Winning!

Feel free to send any questions to help at tottoppers dot com or contact any of the above LYS’s for more information. Counting down :)
