Last fall, the Michigan Fiber Festival started a year-round fiber arts education program
so that workshops could be offered at
their new headquarters in Nashville, Michigan. I was very excited that they
wanted me to teach both spinning and knitting workshops over several days in
February.
I found out
earlier today that those workshops have been cancelled due to lack of
enrollment. Bummer. Now I need to rethink my February. I had rather counted on
the income from teaching those workshops. I will have to tighten an already
tight belt for this winter.
What can I do
to make some February income sufficient for rent, groceries, gas, and bills? Well,
if you know of a group that would like to take any of my workshops, I’d be
happy to oblige. Even in winter weather, I’m willing to drive to a venue to
teach. I’d also be happy to have a small group of folks over to my house in
Lake Ann, Michigan for a workshop. You can find descriptions of my workshops on my website. Or, if you have a spinning or knitting topic that you’d like me to cover, let
me know. Contact me at atyler@centurytel.net.
Cold, snowy
days in February might just be perfect for me to get some long ignored knitting
pattern writing done. I’ve got a shawl pattern, an afghan pattern, and four
(four!) sock patterns that I’ve worked out, but I just need to get good photos
and write up those pesky patterns.
Then I’ll be
able to add those patterns to the 15 patterns I already have for sale on Ravelry.
