Something about the arrival of Spring and fresh new beginnings always seems to generate an urge to acquire new skills, to learn and to develop my skill sets.

It also kicks off the season for teaching schedules - nothing makes me happier than sitting down with my planner and pencilling in lots of new class dates for the forthcoming year. So many opportunities to help create and enable new sock knitters and so many chances to meet new people and to spend time talking about my favourite thing ever.

With this in mind it is with a very happy and springy heart that I can publish my new class dates at the Sheep Shop in Cambridge for the coming few months. For more information or to book either check the shop website or phone Sarah for a chat. She will be more than happy to help:

Sat 23rd April 10am-1:30pm: Beginner Socks
Sat 4th June 10am-1pm: Toe-up socks
Sat 4th June 1:45pm-4:45pm: Pi Shawls
Sat 2nd July 10am-1pm: Socks - Beyond the basics

I am also very excited to announce that I am one of four teachers who will be running classes at the Geeky Puffin Knit Palooza on 10th to 13th November 2016. The event is being held in Farnham in the UK and it promises to be a really special few days. Lots of opportunities for learning, chatting and also shopping in the pop-up marketplace.

More information will be coming out soon so be sure to check out the retreat website (link above) and sign up to the newsletter so you don't miss anything.
