Well I have confirmed a list of classes starting at Birkeland Bros in the fall. I am really looking forward to this.

Every Thursday in September from 7-9 is Beginners Crochet. This will be an especially good class for knitters as you will learn how to incorporate crochet techniques into your knit projects.

Every Thursday in October from 7-9 is Advanced Free Form Crochet. I have been using this technique for years in my work and am always amazed at how it continues to evolve.

The first two Tuesdays in December from 6:30 – 9:30 is Radical Spinning, (Stepping Away from Grannies Yarn). Core spinning, unique plying and incorporating recycled materials will be the focus of this class. Details and class requirements -cost and materials will be listed here as well as the Birkeland site in the next few weeks.

There is so much yarn I can’t carry it all to market. It most likely will not appear until after Filberg as it has to be bagged and tagged. Thank God for the chalkboard list in the studio. As long as it’s been chalked it will get done.

Thanks to Marigold for ball winding some troublesome skeins. Seriously, at the studio until 11:30, that’s a trouper.

And the last of the batts to be spun….

I’m looking forward to Whistler this weekend as rest and relaxation before the storm of the Filberg Festival. It’s a good storm though.
