Oooh, the Possibilities!

I have been having a lot of fun lately with my wool and felting needles. I have become a little obsessed with this lately. It is a lot of fun, and very forgiving! If you make a mistake, just tear it off and do it over. It doesn't take much wool and is very relaxing. The possibilities are endless. Just check out Pinterest.
There are so many really remarkable examples and ideas there. It is unbelievable what some people can create!

So far, Arachne Yarns and More has presented two classes on Needle Felting. Both have been well received and I have requests for more! One student went home and went a little crazy! she came back for more wool and needles. I asked her to bring some of her work with her. I was totally amazed. She has really been busy! I can't believe how good her work is in such a short time!.

Speaking of classes, I have been working on the schedule for next year. In January and February, I will be presenting two knitting classes. A lot of people have asked for a class on Fair Isle knitting so that will be one of them. The other will be a class on basic beginning knitting. They will both be held here in Clinton, MN so if you are in area and interested, check the Arachne Yarns Facebook page for information and registration.

I am also planning on more knitting and felting classes next spring. As we get into warmer weather and plants start to grow up here in the frozen north, I am also planning some Dye classes. Classes will include gathering dye stuff from the local landscape and preparing the fibers. I am looking forward to these classes. I have had a lot of requests for them and I think they will be a lot of fun.

I hope you can join in the fun. If you can't or are not in the area, follow along with the us on the blog. I will be hopefully showing more of the classes as well as new ideas and information.
