I get to stay home much of
this summer. That means more time in the garden, more time at the beach, eating more
local produce, and likely more mosquito bites.
But I will be teaching
workshops reasonably close to home. Here are some places within my wonderful
home state of Michigan
Great Lakes Ranch is where Brad
and Jandy Sprouse raise suri alpacas and Tibetan yaks. And they have a fiber, yarn, and fashion store that is open on Fridays and Saturdays during summer
months.
I’ll be teaching Knitting Petoskey Stone Medallions, Thursday,
July 17, 2:00 – 5:00pm. The fee is $25. Tracie Herkner is the person to contact
to sign up for the class. Her phone number is 231-642-1414, and her email
address is llamamama@centurytel.net
.
In August I make my annual
pilgrimage to the Michigan Fiber Festival in Allegan , Michigan

Mechanics of Your Wheel, Thursday, August 14, 9:00am – 12:00noon

In October (ok, so October
isn’t exactly “summer”), I am headed once again to Yarn in the Barn.
This weekend event is sponsored by Briar Rose Fibers. I
will be teaching spinning workshops and Anne Hanson will be teaching knitting
workshops. And there will be a few vendors in addition to Briar Rose Fibers. You
will find workshop descriptions and registration details on their website. My
workshops are:
Spinning Silk: Brick and Hankies, Friday, October 3, 9:00am – 4:00pm
Variations on Long Draw, Saturday, October 4, 9:00am – 2:30pm
These three events are
confirmed. I will mention that there are tentative plans for a fiber event in Interlochen , Michigan
