Craftsy Sale!

it's a-live!!

i think most of my readers already know this, but just in case, i have to share that my Craftsy.com spindling class is live!  i've been waiting for the right moment to blog about it, and this is a good one because i'm being interviewed tonight on Namaste Farms blog talk radio!  tune in at 9pm est and hear me gab and giggle with the extremely knowledgeable and funny Natalie Redding and Kimberly McAlindin.  you can also call in and ask us stuff about spindling, critters, whatever!

the Craftsy class has gotten off to an awesome start and i'm so grateful to the early students.  it seems like a lot of people really need some support in learning to spindle - those dern spindles like to drop!  but the Craftsy platform is sooo cool because the videos are hd-detailed and can be viewed over and over and any time, and then i'm able to answer questions and interact directly with the students and help them sort out the issues they are having with their spindles or their fiber.  i love waking up to students' questions, pics and the sharing that's going on... so if you're interested in getting started with a spindle, join us!  

it's almost ready!

my Craftsy.com spindling course should be launching any time now!!  i can't think of anything else to blog about because i'm so excited!!  i'll keep you posted...

home again

i'm finally home and decompressing following something really exciting: i filmed a spindling class for craftsy.com!!! it was incredible going to their studios in denver, working with professional producers and video folks, and meeting the genuinely nice people who work there. i can't believe how well they took care of me, from fixing my hair to making me drink water.  the class should be launched in just a couple of weeks!!  i'll keep you posted.

one of the best parts was meeting knitwear designer carol feller who came all the way from ireland to film knitting classes for craftsy! i so enjoyed hanging out in the evenings with carol over local beers, milk and cookies (free at our hotel!) and comparing notes on our days of filming... we even stole a visit to the adorable LYS, fancy tiger craft, and i treated myself to some yarn to make her killybegs cardi. i cast on the last night i was there and knitted all the way home.

and speaking of home... some quickie instagrams ...

my piece "i left my home in georgia" is in the upcoming show curated by the infamous ellen "left eye" schinderman!!!  it's somewhat of a map of my old homeplace which looms large in my memory, the place we left more than three years ago. home is where the needle marks and it is opening june 9th in LA.  yes it is.
